So when you think of its history, InCopy is a major player in the Adobe Creative Cloud stack of products. But it suffers from the stigma of being old-fashioned and expensive to implement. We think it should get way more airtime and we’ll explain why later. For now, though, you should know that InCopy is included within the Adobe Creative Cloud 'All Apps' subscription, so many of you may already have access to it, or you can buy it on its own for around $5 a month. The primary function of InCopy is to allow copywriters and graphic designers to work together on page layout content. It could be used as a stand-alone word processor with full export and print functions but that’s not its real purpose. Adobe InCopy files come in two types: Stand-alone InCopy is designed to be the input channel for written content to be placed into Adobe InDesign documents created by graphic designers. Stand-alone files are disconnected from any InDesign document and can be created and worked on autonomously by writers. Linked documents are directly connected to the designer’s InDesign document and can be worked on by multiple people at the same time. The common process between both file types starts with the designer creating an InDesign document and adding text frames onto it which can then be populated by copywriters. Stories could have a number of different text frames within them and each one could have its own designated purpose and style. Once the designer has created a document layout, the InDesign packaged file can be forwarded to the copywriter for them to begin work on. The copywriter opens the packaged file with InCopy and can see exactly what the designer has produced. The written content can now be added to the page or pages by the writer, who then has a choice of three interface views to choose from. Galley modeĪ basic, unformatted word processing mode that uses line numbers and line breaks that correspond with the text frame size and shape within the InDesign document.
