To change the Galley view display settings

❖ Select an option from the Galley & Story Appearance toolbar. (If the toolbar is not displayed, choose Window >

Galley & Story Appearance to open it. The toolbar appears at the bottom of the application window by default.)

Note: It is important to understand the difference between changing the font display size and applying text formatting.

Both can be done in Galley view. However, changing the font display size does not affect the way text looks in your publi

cation. Applying formatting to text does change the text appearance in Layout view and in your published document.

To set Galley view display preferences

1 Choose Edit > Preferences > Galley & Story Display (Windows) or InCopy > Preferences > Galley & Story Display

(Mac OS).

2 In the Text Display Options section, specify the following:

Text Color Controls the text color in the work area. Black is the default text color.

Background Controls the background color of the work area. White is the default background color.

Theme Assigns preset text and background colors.

Override Preview Font Enables you to display one additional font using the correct typeface in the Galley and Story

view. InCopy automatically displays the Symbol, Zapf Dingbats, Webdings, and Wingdings® fonts accurately,

overriding the display font you have chosen.

Enable Anti-aliasing Smooths the jagged edges of type and bitmap images by softening the color transition between

edge pixels and background pixels. Since only the edge pixels change, no detail is lost. You can choose the level of

anti-aliasing to apply. The Default option uses shades of gray to smooth text, and is equivalent to anti-aliasing in

InCopy CS. The LCD Optimized option uses colors, rather than shades of gray, and works best on light-colored

backgrounds with black text. The Soft option uses shades of gray, but produces a lighter, fuzzier appearance.

Cursor Options Controls the cursor display. Choose from four different cursors. Select or deselect Blink.

Note: Any settings made in the Galley & Story Display panel apply to both the Galley and Story views.

To show or hide the information column

The information column appears on the left side of the document window in Galley and Story views. This column

contains read-only information about paragraph styles, line numbers, and the vertical depth of text; you cannot type

in this area.

❖ Do one of the following:

• To change theviewinthe currentdocumentonly, choose View >ShowInfoColumnorView > Hide Info Column.

• To change the default view in the application, with no document open, choose View > Show Info Column or

View > Hide Info Column.

Note: Paragraph styles make it much easier to maintain consistency in your publications. See “About styles” on page 187,

and consult any workflow system documentation your team has adopted concerning in-house guidelines for your project.
