USING INCOPY CS4 59 Working with InCopy documents Add pages in your document to hold the pages you want to import. After you choose File > Place and select an INDD file, you can choose Show Import Options and then choose which pages to import, which layers to make visible, and how to crop the imported pages. You can scroll in the Preview window to examine the thumbnail pages closely. The page or pages you select are loaded in the graphics icon. If you place multiple pages, InCopy loads the graphics icon with the following page so you can import pages one after the other. Note: The Links panel lists the names of each page you imported. If a page you imported contains a graphic or other item that was imported into it, this item is listed as well in the Links panel. The names of these secondary imported items are listed under a disclosure triangle in the Links panel to distinguish them from imported pages. See also "Control layer visibility in imported images" on page 57 Transforming graphics Position tool overview Click the Position tool in the toolbox to manipulate selected graphics, either directly, in conjunction with a Transform command (Object > Transform) or a command on a context menu, or by using keyboard shortcuts to nudge the graphic within its frame. The Position tool is dynamic, automatically changing to reflect different states: • When placed directly over an empty graphics frame or frame with unassigned content after using the File > Place command, it changes to the loaded graphics icon to indicate that you can import the graphic into that frame. • When it's placed directly over a graphic, it changes to the Hand tool to indicate that you can select the graphic and manipulate it within the frame. • When placed over the bounding box handle of an inline graphic, it changes to the resize arrow to indicate that dragging will resize the graphic. • When placed over a graphics frame or the top-level container of nested frames, it changes to the object select icon to indicate that you can select the graphic or nested frame under the pointer. You cannot select the frame itself. • When placed over a text frame, it changes to the I-beam to indicate a text insertion point. Set Position tool options When using the Position tool to move a graphic, you can hold down the mouse button for a few seconds to display a dynamic graphics preview (a ghosted-back image) of any part of the image that is outside the frame. You can control the display and delay of the preview. 1 Double-click the Position tool in the toolbox. 2 From the Show Masked Portion of Image menu, select the rate at which the entire image will appear while dragging, or select to turn it off entirely. Transform graphics You can use commands to move, scale, rotate, and shear graphics. Updated 29 April 2009
