About Galley view

Galley view provides an environment for efficient text processing. Text is easy to read and annotate. You can also use

Galley view to perform copyfitting and other production-related tasks.

Working in Galley view is analogous to working with galley proofs in traditional typesetting. Within the work area,

the text wraps exactly as it will in the final InDesign layout, and all text is displayed in one column, regardless of how

many columns exist in your design. Page breaks, frame breaks, and column breaks are shown by a line with the words

“Page break,” “Frame break,” or “Column break” in the center of the line.

Note: When multiple breaks are represented by a single boundary, such as a page break coinciding with a frame break,

the break with the highest priority is displayed. Page breaks have the highest priority, and column breaks have the lowest.

A feature unique to Galley view is the Copyfit break, which indicates the point at which the InCopy text exceeds the

layout space assigned for it in InDesign.

By default, Galley view displays text at 12 points. You can change the font, size, or spacing to make text easier to read

or edit. You can also change the background and font color.

Note: The font display size applies to all stories, rather than individual characters, words, or paragraphs.

The Galley & Story Appearance toolbar controls several settings that you might want to change frequently when

working on a document. These settings include:

• Display font type and size.

• Display leading (single space, 150% space, double space, or triple space).

• Show/hide line number and styles columns.

• Customize Galley & Story Appearance controls.
