Editing overset text
If a story is linked to an InDesign layout, the story is limited to the frames the designer specifies. If you specified a
Depth setting when creating a stand-alone InCopy document, the story is limited to that depth. When you type more
than the allowed length of text, the text is overset. When the story is underset, there is space available to be filled with
text. As you write and edit, you can tell when your story fits perfectly into the InDesign layout. You can still edit overset
text.
In Galley view or Story view, overset text is set apart from the rest of the story by a copyfit break line. You use the same
procedures to write and edit the text, whether it is above or below the copyfit break line.
In Layout view, overset text is not visible, but the Copyfit Progress Info box indicates the number of overset lines in
the document.
If you're writing or editing a threaded story in Layout view, you don't need to do anything special when you reach the
end of a frame. The insertion point automatically follows the story thread from frame to frame as you type.
Show or hide the depth ruler
❖
In Galley or Story view, choose View > Show Depth Ruler or Hide Depth Ruler.
To change the units of measurement used for the depth ruler, change the Vertical setting in Units & Increments
Preferences.

Checking spelling

Check spelling
You can check the spelling in a document or in all open stories. InCopy highlights misspelled or unknown words,
repeated words (such as "the the"), uncapitalized words, and uncapitalized sentences. When performing a spell check,
InCopy checks all XML content and expanded inline notes.
When you check spelling, InCopy uses the dictionary for the languages you assigned to the text in your document.
InCopy uses the Proximity language dictionaries for both spelling and hyphenation. Each dictionary contains
hundreds of thousands of words with standard hyphenation breaks.
For stand-alone stories (stories not linked to an InDesign layout), you can customize language dictionaries to ensure
that any unique vocabulary you use is recognized and treated correctly. For example, when you run a spelling check
(Edit > Spelling > Check Spelling), you can click Add and enter the settings you want.
