What’s new
New features
Collaborative editorial workflow
Adobe InCopy® LiveEdit Workflow plug-ins
Use a file check-in and check-out system between InDesign® CS2 and
InCopy CS2 to enable designers and editors to work simultaneously on the same content without overwriting each
other’s changes. (See “Sharing content” on page 124.)
Assignments Edit only the content that’s assigned to you from InDesign CS2, which may include selected frames
from a page, across spreads, or from the entire document. Easily visualize how your edited copy relates to the design
through the live Layout view. (See “About assignment files” on page 128.)
Paste and transform graphics Place graphics in available frames or paste them inline in text. Use the new Position
tool to resize, move, rotate, shear, or reposition graphics in relation to their frames. (See “About the Position tool” on
page 116.)
Place PSD and PDF layers Selectively display layers and layer comps in Photoshop® (PSD) files, and layers in PDF
files on import. Modify layer visibility in placed graphics. (See “To place a graphic in a frame” on page 108.)
Layers palette Control display of layers in Layout view to gain access to copy in overlapping frames. (See “About
layers” on page 107.)
Smart text processing
Drag and drop text
Drag and drop text within or between frames, views, and documents. (See “To drag and drop
text” on page 151.)
Footnotes Create footnotes directly or import them from Microsoft® Word and RTF files. Control their numbering,
formatting, and layout. (See “To create a footnote” on page 174.)
Unformatted paste Automatically format pasted text with the formatting of the destination text, instead of its
original formatting. (See “To paste text” on page 150.)
Dynamic spell checking and automatic text correction Highlight misspelled words, and automatically correct
common mistakes based on your word list. InCopy also intelligently adds or deletes spaces as needed when you copy
and paste. (See “To use dynamic spelling” on page 180 or “To correct spelling errors as you type” on page 180.)
Dictionary management Create and link to multiple user dictionaries, and easily share those dictionaries across a
workgroup. Import word lists into and export them from user dictionaries. (See “To manage user dictionaries” on
page 182.)
WSIWYG font preview Preview samples of font families directly in the Font menu of the Character and Control
palettes. (See
“To apply a font” on page 201.)
Style enhancements
Selectively load styles
Selectively choose which paragraph and character styles to import from other documents,
and easily specify how InCopy handles style name conflicts. (See “To import styles from other documents” on
page 188.)
Quick apply Quickly locate one paragraph or character style among dozens or even hundreds listed by typing part
of its name, and then apply it to your text without taking your hands off the keyboard. (
See “To use Quick Apply to
find and apply styles” on page 192.)
