Adobe InCopy

InCopy is a text editor by Adobe Systems, which is designed entirely to work with Adobe InDesign. A large part of the code is identical to the so that an editor or copywriter absolute line binding can write texts in InDesign. In this case, the editor can change contents of individual text frames while working on a layout in InDesign page layout.

Adobe InCopy is a direct competitor to QuarkCopyDesk the company Quark, which is on the market since 1991.

Operation

InCopy works much like any other text editor. There are more features, such as a change tracking or memo functions. With InCopy can open InDesign files, so you can see the state of the layout exactly as you edited texts. However, you can see the page layout, for example, the size of a text frame, do not change. Thus, a strict division of responsibilities between text editing and page design in workgroup publishers and agencies is achieved.

InCopy can be used directly in small working groups with InDesign. For larger groups or for special requirements InDesign and InCopy are often used in conjunction with a content management system, which allows a control of the editorial workflow.
