Adobe InCopy CS5.5

Adobe InCopy CS5.5 software is a professional writing and editing solution that tightly integrates with Adobe InDesign® CS5.5 software to enable an efficient collaborative workflow between design and editorial staff.

Experience tight integration with Adobe InDesign CS5.5 that enables writers, editors, and designers to simultaneously work on a single document without overwriting each other's contributions.

Flexible page views
Edit in the view most suited to your current task. Galley View displays 100% accurate line breaks. Story View helps enable faster word processing. And Layout View lets you edit text in relation to design.

Precise copyfitting
View copyfit information as you work. Constant visual feedback informs you of space remaining — or how far you're overset — as well as story depth and line, word, and character counts.

Powerful tools for editorial productivity
Use the Eyedropper tool for quick text styling, the Links panel for easy management of placed image and text files, and paragraph and character styles for typographical consistency.

Enhanced editorial collaboration
Track text changes across your entire document, including tables. Hide, show, and navigate changes, and accept or reject them en masse or per user. Store annotations
in notes tied to specific positions in a story or table cells.

Flexible workspace
Work productively with easy access to key controls and tools. Use the Adobe Mini Bridge panel to browse and open files without leaving InCopy. And create custom workspaces that can be used for specific editorial tasks.

Professional typography
Apply a wide range of precise typographic adjustments such as leading, letter spacing, and paragraph spacing; use OpenType® fonts and Unicode character encoding; and easily insert glyphs using the Glyphs panel.

Support for long documents
Minimize manual updates and inaccuracies. Quickly produce multiple versions of a document from a single source file with support for conditional text, and create cross-references that update as content changes or moves within an InDesign document.

Print and digital publishing
Develop and deliver content for both print and digital documents. Experience support for digital document features in InDesign CS5.5, insert hyperlinks directly into your InCopy file, and export files to Adobe PDF or XML.

Paragraphs that split columns
Quickly turn any text selection into multiple columns within an existing text frame.

Paragraphs that span columns
Cut production time with a simple click that makes single-column text span multiple columns. Quickly create a column-spanning headline or subhead in your existing text frame — no need to ask the designer to create a dedicated frame.

Layers panel
Hide or lock obscuring layout elements to easily access the text in a multilayered document.

Links panel
Manage placed files in your InCopy documents and see metadata including keywords, headline, and description.

Support for Buzzword in Acrobat.com
Easily place copy written in Adobe Buzzword (a feature of Acrobat.com1,2) into editable InCopy text frames.

Document-installed fonts
Avoid the inconvenience of missing fonts. When you open an InCopy story, InCopy CS5.5 automatically looks for an associated Document fonts folder, installs the folder's fonts temporarily for use in the story, and then uninstalls the fonts when you close the story.
