User Guide

• When you cut or copy text that includes the footnote reference number, the footnote text is also added to the

Clipboard. If you copy the text to a different document, the footnotes in that text use the characteristics of the new

document’s numbering and layout appearance.

• If you accidentally delete the footnote number at the start of the footnote text, you can add it back by placing the

insertion point at the beginning of the footnote text, right-clicking (Windows) or Control-clicking (Mac OS), and

choosing Insert Special Character > Footnote Number.

• If youclear overridesand characterstylesonaparagraphthatincludesafootnote referencemarker, thefootnote

reference numbers lose the attributes you applied in the Document Footnote Options dialog box.

Copyfitting text

InCopy keeps track of several text statistics and makes this data available in the Copyfit Info toolbar. As you write

your story, the Copyfit Info toolbar automatically displays the number of lines, words, and characters, and the vertical

depth at the bottom of the work area for both linked and stand-alone stories in Galley and Layout views.

Note: You can make the Copyfit Info toolbar a floating palette. (See “About InCopy toolbars, palettes, and menus” on

page 12.)

For linked InCopy documents or for stand-alone document with a Depth setting, the Copyfit Progress Info box

indicating the number of lines by which your story is too long or too short. If the story doesn’t fill the frames assigned

to it, the copyfit box turns blue and shows an “Under: _ lines” count. The length of the blue bar indicates roughly

what percentage of the frame is currently filled with text. The shorter the blue bar, the more lines you need to add to

fill the space.

Copyfit Info toolbar

If the text overflows the assigned frame space, a copyfit line indicates where overset text begins, and the Copyfit

Progress Info box turns red and shows an “Over: _ Lines” count—the number of lines you need to cut to fit copy into

the frame. (See “Editing overset text” on page 178.)

Note: The red bar is always the same length. It does not reflect any percentage of the space available.
