USING INCOPY CS4
Working with InCopy documents
When InDesign users create a new frame, they specify whether it is a text, graphics, or unassigned frame. InCopy
users cannot change this frame type within InCopy. Therefore, if you try to import a graphic into a text frame, for
example, it may appear as a large inline graphic.
You can select and modify the graphics but not the frames in InCopy, unless they are nested or inline frames. Only
InDesign users can modify graphics frames.
You can place, paste, or drag graphics into an anchored, floating, or inline graphics frame. You can import a graphic
into a text frame only if that frame has an active insertion point or is an inline graphics frame.
If you import a graphic into a nested frame, the graphic is imported into the deepest-level frame under the pointer.
Nested frames that contain graphics, unlike top-level frames, can be selected with the Position tool. (See “
Position
tool overview
” on page
59.)
If an effect, such as transparency, drop shadow, or feathering, is applied to a frame in InDesign, it will be visible in
an assignment file or InDesign (.indd) file open in InCopy. It will not be visible in a linked (.icml) file open in
InCopy.
Place a graphic in an InCopy document
1
Do one of the following:
To place a graphic in a standalone InCopy document, place the insertion point in the text frame.
To place a graphic in a linked document, make sure the graphics frame is checked out to you. The Editing icon
appears in the upper left corner of the frame.
2
Choose File
> Place and select a graphics file.
3
To set format-specific import options, select Show Import Options to see format-specific settings, and then click Open.
Note:
When you place a graphic created in lllustrator 9.0 or later by using the Show Import Options dialog box, the
options are identical to those for PDF files. When you place an Illustrator 8.x graphic, the options are identical to those
for EPS files
4
If another dialog box appears, select your import options, and click
OK.
5
To import into a frame, click the loaded graphics icon
in the frame. To place a specified page of a multipage
PDF document, click the loaded graphics icon in a frame.
If you accidently replace an existing graphic with an image you’re placing, press Ctrl+Z (Windows) or Command+Z
(Mac
OS) to return the original image to the frame and display the loaded graphics icon.
Drag a graphic into a frame
Do one of the following:
To place a graphic in an existing graphics frame, make sure the frame is checked out to you, and then drag the
graphic file’s icon from the file system to the frame.
To place a graphic at an active text insertion point, drag the graphic file’s icon to any place in the text frame. This
method is available only in Layout view.
