Stand-Alone Documents - Adobe 65009333 - InCopy CS4 - PC Using Manual

•
Linked content is managed by your workflow system, where it is locked for access control. Your system might offer
several options for opening a linked story, such as checking out each InCopy file so that you alone can work on it.
For instructions, see your workflow system documentation or ask your system administrator, or check out content
using InCopy if your workflow uses the InCopy LiveEdit Workflow plug-ins.
Working with multistory files
When you work with linked documents, you can have more than one InCopy story in an InDesign file, depending on
your workflow system. A file with multiple stories must be created in InDesign as either an assignment file or an
InDesign file with linked InCopy content. You cannot use InCopy to create a multistory document. See your workflow
system documentation for details.
Multiple stories are shown and separated in Galley and Story views with a story separator bar. The story separator bar
provides easy access to each story created within an InDesign document.
The story separator bar contains the story title and an expand and collapse button which enables you to show or hide
each story. When a story is collapsed, the text is hidden and the story separator bar remains visible within the edit pane.

Stand-alone documents

Work with stand-alone documents
An InCopy document that is not associated with an InDesign document is called a stand-alone document. You can set
up and modify the text area, page size, and orientation for stand-alone documents. However, if the story is later linked
to an InDesign document, the InDesign settings override the settings used in InCopy.
Note: You can also click Save Preset to save document settings for future use. When creating a new document, you can
simply choose it from the Document Preset menu and click OK without having to change any settings. If you're working
in an editorial workgroup, these saved presets can be shared with other members of your team. (See
document presets" on page 35.)
