To view hidden characters
When you’re editing text, it’s often useful to see nonprinting characters, such as spaces, tabs, and paragraph symbols.
These characters are visible only in a document window; they won’t output or print.

To edit text on a master page
In InDesign documents, a master page is a kind of template that applies to multiple pages. Master pages typically
specify only common layout elements that appear on all pages of the document, such as the margins, page numbers,
headers, and footers. You can use InCopy to edit the text on an InDesign master page if the text is a linked file.
However, you cannot change any of the frame attributes controlled by the master, and you cannot edit master-page
text from any other (regular) pages in the document.
Note: If you can’t click an insertion point into a nonlocked text frame on a regular page, that text might be on a master
page. Check with the person who set up the frames and with your design team.
1 Choose View > Layout View if your document is not already in Layout view.
2 Choose the master page from the page box at the lower left of the document window.
Selecting the InDesign master page
3 On the master page, select the text that you want to edit, and make the changes.
To edit text on a master page, the master page must include managed stories that are checked out.
