Creating Story Links
When the cursor is on a line in the Queue panel or in the Story Text sub-panel, the “Copy story
link to clipboard” option is available in both the context menu and Story menu. When this option
is selected, it creates a story link on the user’s clipboard, which can be pasted into another story.
You may also press Shift+Ctrl+K to create a link.
Story links appear as:
inews://<server>/<path>/<story>
. Clicking the link will create a
new workspace displaying the linked story.
Opening a Story
In iNEWS, you can open any unlocked stories in a queue. Open a story when you want to view,
edit, or delete information in the story.
To open a story:
1. Open the queue containing the story you want to open.
For more information, see
“Opening a Queue” on page 62.
A list of stories appears in the Queue panel.
2. Click a story to open it in the Story panel.
n
If your have zoomed in to the Queue panel, you can open a story by double-clicking on the
selector button to left of the story you want to open.
Changing Case of Text in Stories
There are four case formats for text within a story:
Format Description
Upper case Changes case so all letters are capitalized.
Lower case Changes case so all letters are lower case.
Title case Changes case so the first letter of each word is capitalized. This can be useful for
character generator (CG) data, since many stations type their CGs in title-case
format.
Sentence case Changes case so the first letter of the first word at the beginning of each sentence
is capitalized.
