Customizing preferences and defaults
About preferences
The difference between preferences and defaults is the area to which each applies. Preference settings specify the
initial appearance and behavior of certain InCopy features. Default settings apply to InCopy documents.
Preferences include settings such as palette positions, measurement options, and display options for graphics and
typography.
Note: InCopy preference settings are fully scriptable. To share a consistent set of preferences across user groups, develop
a script to set the preferences, and then have all users in the group run the script on their computers. Do not copy and
paste one user’s preferences files onto another computer, as this might cause application instability. For more information
about scripting, see the InCopy Scripting Guide on the application CD.
To set general preferences
1 Choose Edit > Preferences > General (Windows) or InCopy > Preferences > General (Mac OS).
2 In the General section, choose a display option in the Tool Tips menu. This changes the amount of time that tool
tips are displayed.
3 For Floating Tools Palette, select a layout option. This changes the layout appearance of the toolbox to single or
double column, or single row.
4 Click Reset All Warning Dialogs to display all warnings, even the ones you’ve already dismissed. (As warnings
appear, you can select an option to indicate you do not want to see the warning again.)

To specify default settings for new documents
If you change settings when no documents are open, your changes set the defaults for new documents. If a document
is open when you change settings, the changes affect only that document.
1 Close all InCopy documents.
2 Change any menu items or palette or dialog box settings.
To restore all preferences and default settings
❖ Do one of the following:
• (Windows) Start InCopy, and then press Shift+Ctrl+Alt. Click Yes when asked if you want to delete your
preference files.
• (Mac OS) While pressing Shift+Option+Command+Control, start InCopy. Click Yes when asked if you want to
delete your preference files.
