USING INCOPY CS4 54 Working with InCopy documents 3 For Thumbnails, determine whether thumbnail representations of the graphics appear in the Name column and in the Link Info section at the bottom of the Links panel. 4 Click OK. Display link information The Link Info section of the Links panel lists information about the selected linked file. To change the information displayed in the Link Info section of the Links panel, choose Panel Options from the Links panel menu, and select check boxes in the Show In Link Info column. ❖ Double-click a link, or select a link and click the Show/Hide Link Information icon, which is a triangle on the left side of the panel. View metadata via the Links panel If a linked or embedded file contains metadata, you can view the metadata using the Links panel. You cannot edit or replace metadata associated with a linked file. ❖ Select a file in the Links panel and choose Utilities > XMP File Info from the panel menu. Update, restore, and replace links Use the Links panel to check the status of any link, or to replace files with updated or alternate files. When you update or reestablish (relink) a link to a file, any transformations performed in InCopy are preserved (if you choose Relink Preserved Dimensions in the File Handling preferences). For example, if you import a square graphic and rotate it 30°, and then you relink it to an unrotated graphic, InCopy rotates it 30° to match the layout of the graphic it's replacing. Note: Placed EPS files may contain OPI links, which appear in the Links panel. Don't relink OPI links to files other than those originally intended by the creator of the EPS file; doing so can cause problems with font downloading and color separations. Choose how relinked graphics are scaled When you relink to replace one graphic with a different source file, you can keep the image dimensions of the file that's being replaced, or you can display the incoming file in its actual dimensions. 1 Choose Edit > Preferences > File Handling (Windows) or InCopy > Preferences > File Handling (Mac OS). 2 Choose Preserve Image Dimensions When Relinking if you want images to appear at the same size as the images they're replacing. Deselect this option to have relinked images appear at their actual size. Update modified links InDesign first looks for a missing link in the folder in which another file has been relinked in the current session. Next, it looks for a link in the same folder where the document is located. If it's still not found, it looks in the parent folder of the document. Modified links are also called "out of date" links. ❖ In the Links panel, do one of the following: • To update specific links, select one or more links marked with the modified-link icon Link button , or choose Update Link from the Links panel menu. .
