USING INCOPY CS4 25 Workspace If you work with a linked story-a managed story within an open InDesign document or assignment file-you cannot modify the story layout with InCopy. You can work only with the text and text attributes. If you work with a stand-alone InCopy document-an individual InCopy document that isn't within an open InDesign document or assignment file-you can work with the text and text attributes, and you can change the page size using the Document Setup command. Layout view offers more tools and View-menu commands than the other views. You can use the Hand tool, the Zoom tool, and the Zoom commands to view a spread at various magnifications. You can also use various layout aids, such as rulers, document grids, and baseline grids. Note: These viewing options don't affect formatting. For example, zooming in to enlarge your view of the page doesn't change the way the story appears in InDesign or when printed. About frames In the Layout view of a document in progress, you see one or more boxes on the page. These nonprinting boxes might contain text, graphics, or nothing. The boxes represent frames-spaces in the layout reserved for specific elements. Each frame is defined to contain either text or a graphic. Non-managed stories in an InDesign document or in an assignment file are dimmed so that they can be identified easily. Text frames Control which stories appear where, and how much page area they cover. For linked stories, frames are defined by the InDesign user. If multiple frames are set aside for a story, the frame configuration determines how the story text flows through the layout. Graphics frames Can function as borders and background, and can crop or mask graphics. You can work with graphics inside frames in InCopy, and you can see the graphics frames from InDesign layouts when you work with linked documents. You can also work with the frames of inline graphics (embedded in text), but you cannot work with other graphics frames. (See "Create an inline graphic" on page 48.) Empty frames Are placeholders. You can distinguish empty text frames from empty graphics frames by their appearance. An empty box represents an empty text frame; a box with an X across it indicates an empty graphics frame. You can add text to an empty text frame only if the frame is associated with the story exported to InCopy from InDesign. You can also import or paste graphics into an empty graphics frame in InCopy. Empty text frame (left) and empty graphics frame (right) Show or hide frame edges Hiding frame edges also hides the X in an empty graphics frame. Updated 29 April 2009

If you work with a
linked
story—a managed story within an open InDesign document or assignment file—you cannot
modify the story layout with InCopy. You can work only with the text and text attributes.
If you work with a
stand-alone
InCopy document—an individual InCopy document that isn’t within an open InDesign
document or assignment file—you can work with the text and text attributes, and you can change the page size using
the Document Setup command.
Layout view offers more tools and View-menu commands than the other views. You can use the Hand tool, the Zoom
tool, and the Zoom commands to view a spread at various magnifications. You can also use various layout aids, such
as rulers, document grids, and baseline grids.
Note:
These viewing options don’t affect formatting. For example, zooming in to enlarge your view of the page doesn’t
change the way the story appears in InDesign or when printed.
About frames
In the Layout view of a document in progress, you see one or more boxes on the page. These nonprinting boxes might
contain text, graphics, or nothing. The boxes represent
frames—
spaces in the layout reserved for specific elements.
Each frame is defined to contain either text or a graphic. Non-managed stories in an InDesign document or in an
assignment file are dimmed so that they can be identified easily.
Text frames
Control which stories appear where, and how much page area they cover. For linked stories, frames are
defined by the InDesign user. If multiple frames are set aside for a story, the frame configuration determines how the
story text flows through the layout.
Graphics frames
Can function as borders and background, and can crop or mask graphics. You can work with
graphics inside frames in InCopy, and you can see the graphics frames from InDesign layouts when you work with
linked documents. You can also work with the frames of inline graphics (embedded in text), but you cannot work with
other graphics frames. (See “
Create an inline graphic
” on page
48.)
Empty frames
Are
placeholders
. You can distinguish empty text frames from empty graphics frames by their
appearance. An empty box represents an empty text frame; a box with an X across it indicates an empty graphics frame.
You can add text to an empty text frame only if the frame is associated with the story exported to InCopy from
InDesign. You can also import or paste graphics into an empty graphics frame in InCopy.
Empty text frame (left) and empty graphics frame (right)
Show or hide frame edges
Hiding frame edges also hides the X in an empty graphics frame.
