Search tips

Adobe Help search works by searching the entire Help text for topics that contain all of the words typed in the Search box. These tips can help you improve your search results in Help:
If you search using a phrase, such as “shape tool,” put quotation marks around the phrase. The search returns only

Chapter 2: Work area

Work area basics

About the work area

By default, the InCopy work area consists of three views of a story (Galley, Story, and Layout views), palettes to help you monitor and modify artwork, and menus that contain commands for performing tasks.
You can rearrange the work area to best suit your needs by moving, hiding, or showing palettes; zooming in or out; scrolling to a different area of the document window; or creating multiple windows and views.
See also
“Viewing stories” on page 18

About InCopy toolbars, palettes, and menus

The InCopy window includes a main menu bar, and several customizable toolbars and palettes to provide the controls you need to work with documents. You can access toolbar functions from the keyboard without ever having to use the mouse. InCopy also provides floating palettes with groups of tools you use to work on your document. To help unclutter the work area, you can collapse palettes into side tabs. Once you find a palette arrangement you like, you can save it as a workspace and use it with other InCopy documents. You can also share these workspaces with other InCopy users, creating a consistent editing environment across a workgroup.
12
If you’re working with a file from an Adobe Version Cue™ project, the document title bar provides additional infor­mation about the status of a file. The Adobe Version Cue Workspace is a feature that is available only as part of Adobe Creative Suite.

About palettes

Most Adobe products include a number of palettes to help you monitor and modify your work. InCopy’s default palettes appear in side tabs at the right side of the application window (Windows) or screen (Mac OS). You can display, hide, or move these palettes as you work. You can also open and close individual palettes as needed.
InCopy provides several palettes, each containing options related to a specific aspect of your writing work. For example, the Paragraph Styles palette contains a list of currently defined paragraph styles you can click to apply to the paragraph you are working on in the story.
The Scripts palette lets you automate many InCopy tasks using JavaScript, Applescript, or Visual Basic. For more information, see the Scripting Guide in the Technical folder on the InCopy CD.
Docking palettes
When you dock a palette to another palette, you connect the top edge of one palette to the bottom edge of another. Docked palettes move together and are shown or hidden together. In contrast, when you group palettes, only the frontmost palette is visible.
You can dock one palette to another single palette or to a group of palettes. However, you can’t dock a group of palettes unless you dock each of them individually, because docking involves dragging an individual palette’s tab and not the title bar.
ADOBE INCOPY CS2
Docked palettes
Collapsing palettes
When you start InCopy, several groups of palettes are collapsed into tabs at the side of the application window (Windows) or screen (Mac OS).

Customizing preferences and defaults

About preferences

The difference between preferences and defaults is the area to which each applies. Preference settings specify the initial appearance and behavior of certain InCopy features. Default settings apply to InCopy documents.
Preferences include settings such as palette positions, measurement options, and display options for graphics and typography.
Note: InCopy preference settings are fully scriptable. To share a consistent set of preferences across user groups, develop a script to set the preferences, and then have all users in the group run the script on their computers. Do not copy and paste one user’s preferences files onto another computer, as this might cause application instability. For more information about scripting, see the InCopy Scripting Guide on the application CD.

To set general preferences

1 Choose Edit > Preferences > General (Windows) or InCopy > Preferences > General (Mac OS).
2 In the General section, choose a display option in the Tool Tips menu. This changes the amount of time that tool
tips are displayed.
3 For Floating Tools Palette, select a layout option. This changes the layout appearance of the toolbox to single or
double column, or single row.
4 Click Reset All Warning Dialogs to display all warnings, even the ones you’ve already dismissed. (As warnings
appear, you can select an option to indicate you do not want to see the warning again.)

Viewing stories

Viewing stories

InCopy offers three views of a story: Galley, Story, and Layout. These terms correspond to the terms used in tradi­tional publishing.
Galley view Displays text with line breaks established in the corresponding InDesign document. If text doesn’t fit
into the assigned layout space, an overset indicator marks the point at which the InCopy text exceeds the space. Although you can use InCopy to apply formatting, such as paragraph indents and font size, these formats do not appear in Galley view.
18
Galley view
Story view Displays text in a continuous stream, wrapping the text at the document window. Story view does not
show accurate line endings, so you can concentrate on content. However, if text doesn’t fit into the assigned layout space, an overset indicator marks the point at which the InCopy text exceeds the space. When using Story view, the information area displays only paragraph styles. Line numbers are not visible in Story view.
Story view
Story view opens by default when you create a new InCopy story.

About Galley view

Galley view provides an environment for efficient text processing. Text is easy to read and annotate. You can also use Galley view to perform copyfitting and other production-related tasks.
Working in Galley view is analogous to working with galley proofs in traditional typesetting. Within the work area, the text wraps exactly as it will in the final InDesign layout, and all text is displayed in one column, regardless of how many columns exist in your design. Page breaks, frame breaks, and column breaks are shown by a line with the words “Page break,” “Frame break,” or “Column break” in the center of the line.
20
Note: When multiple breaks are represented by a single boundary, such as a page break coinciding with a frame break, the break with the highest priority is displayed. Page breaks have the highest priority, and column breaks have the lowest.
A feature unique to Galley view is the Copyfit break, which indicates the point at which the InCopy text exceeds the layout space assigned for it in InDesign.
By default, Galley view displays text at 12 points. You can change the font, size, or spacing to make text easier to read or edit. You can also change the background and font color.
Note: The font display size applies to all stories, rather than individual characters, words, or paragraphs.
The Galley & Story Appearance toolbar controls several settings that you might want to change frequently when working on a document. These settings include:
Display font type and size.
Display leading (single space, 150% space, double space, or triple space).
Show/hide line number and styles columns.
Customize Galley & Story Appearance controls.

To change the Galley view display settings

Select an option from the Galley & Story Appearance toolbar. (If the toolbar is not displayed, choose Window >
Galley & Story Appearance to open it. The toolbar appears at the bottom of the application window by default.)
Note: It is important to understand the difference between changing the font display size and applying text formatting. Both can be done in Galley view. However, changing the font display size does not affect the way text looks in your publi cation. Applying formatting to text does change the text appearance in Layout view and in your published document.

To set Galley view display preferences

1 Choose Edit > Preferences > Galley & Story Display (Windows) or InCopy > Preferences > Galley & Story Display
(Mac OS).
2 In the Text Display Options section, specify the following:
Text Color Controls the text color in the work area. Black is the default text color.
21
-
Background Controls the background color of the work area. White is the default background color.
Theme Assigns preset text and background colors.
Override Preview Font Enables you to display one additional font using the correct typeface in the Galley and Story
view. InCopy automatically displays the Symbol, Zapf Dingbats, Webdings, and Wingdings® fonts accurately, overriding the display font you have chosen.
Enable Anti-aliasing Smooths the jagged edges of type and bitmap images by softening the color transition between
edge pixels and background pixels. Since only the edge pixels change, no detail is lost. You can choose the level of anti-aliasing to apply. The Default option uses shades of gray to smooth text, and is equivalent to anti-aliasing in InCopy CS. The LCD Optimized option uses colors, rather than shades of gray, and works best on light-colored backgrounds with black text. The Soft option uses shades of gray, but produces a lighter, fuzzier appearance.
Cursor Options Controls the cursor display. Choose from four different cursors. Select or deselect Blink.
Note: Any settings made in the Galley & Story Display panel apply to both the Galley and Story views.

To show or hide the information column

The information column appears on the left side of the document window in Galley and Story views. This column contains read-only information about paragraph styles, line numbers, and the vertical depth of text; you cannot type in this area.
Do one of the following:
To change theviewinthe currentdocumentonly, choose View >ShowInfoColumnorView > Hide Info Column.
To change the default view in the application, with no document open, choose View > Show Info Column or

To use the vertical depth ruler

When typing text, it is sometimes useful to know the physical depth of a story as it will appear in Layout view, in addition to the number of lines. The vertical depth ruler draws a ruler along the left edge of the Galley and Story views. Each tick mark in the ruler aligns to the bottom of a line of text. A value is displayed every five tick marks to show the total vertical depth of the text to that point. The depth dynamically updates when layout composition for the portion of the document is complete.
The depth measurement uses the vertical units setting in the Units & Increments Preferences panel.
Note: To aid in copyfitting, the depth of overset text is also calculated and displayed.
1 Click the Galley or Story tab at the top of the editing area.
2 Do either of the following:
To show or hide only the depth ruler, choose View > Show/Hide Depth Ruler.
To show or hide only the information column, choose View > Show/Hide Info Column.

About Layout view

In Layout view, you see text and other elements exactly as they are formatted and positioned in an InDesign document. Stories are laid out in frames, just as they appear in InDesign.
If you are working with a linked story—a managed story within an open InDesign document or Assignment file— you cannot modify the story layout with InCopy. You can work only with the text and text attributes.
If you are working with a stand-alone InCopy document—an individual InCopy document that is not within an open InDesign document or Assignment file—you can work with the text and text attributes, and change the page size using the Document Setup command.

Choose View > Layout View.

About frames

In theLayoutviewofadocument in progress,you seeone or more boxesonthe page.These nonprintingboxes might contain text, graphics, or nothing. The boxes represent frames—spaces in the layout reserved for specific elements. Each frame is defined to contain either text or a graphic.
23
Text frames Controlwhich storiesappearwhere,and howmuchpageareatheycover.For linkedstories,framesare
defined by the InDesign user. If multiple frames are set aside for a story, the frame configuration determines how the story text flows through the layout.
Graphics frames Can function as borders and background, and can crop or mask graphics. You can work with
graphics inside frames in InCopy, and you can see the graphics frames from InDesign layouts when you work with linked documents. You can also work with the frames of inline graphics (embedded in text), but you cannot work with other graphics frames.
Empty frames Are placeholders. You can distinguish empty text frames from empty graphics frames by their
appearance. A empty box represents an empty text frame; a box with an X across it indicates an empty graphics frame. You can add text to an empty text frame only if it’s associated with the story exported to InCopy from InDesign. You can also import or paste graphics into an empty graphics frame in InCopy.

To jump to position markers

You can set a marker at a specific location in the text so that you can easily return to it using a command or shortcut. This is useful if you change your place in the document to do another action, for example, to verify a fact in another area of text. An InDesign document can have only one position marker at a time per session. Inserting a marker deletes a previously placed marker. Closing a document also deletes a marker.
Choose Edit > Position Marker, and do any of the following:
To add a marker, make sure you have placed the insertion point in the text and then select Insert Marker.
To replace an existing marker, select Replace Marker.
To delete a marker, select Remove Marker.
To return to a marker, select Go To Marker.

Recovery and undo

Recovering a document

InCopy guards your data against unexpected power or system failures by using an automatic recovery feature. Automatically recovered data exists in a temporary file that is separate from the original document file on disk. Under normal circumstances you don’t need to think about automatically recovered data, because any document updates stored in the automatic recovery file are automatically added to the original document file when you choose the Save or Save As command or exit InCopy normally. Automatically recovered data is important only if you were not able to save successfully before an unexpected power or system failure.
Even though thedocumentrecoveryfeature exists, youshouldsaveyourfiles oftenand create backup filesincaseof unexpected power or system failures.

To find recovered documents

1 Restart your computer.
2 Start InCopy.
If automatically recovered data exists, InCopy automatically displays the recovered document. The word [Recovered] appearsafter thefilenameinthe titlebar of thedocumentwindowtoindicatethatthe document contains unsaved changes that were automatically recovered.
Note: If InCopy fails after attempting to open a document using automatically recovered changes, the automatically recovered data may be corrupted.
3 Do one of the following:
For InCopy files linked to an InDesign publication, choose File > Save.
For stand-alone InCopy files, choose File > Save As, specify a location and a new file name, and click Save. The
Save As command creates a new file that includes the automatically recovered data.
To discard any automatically recovered changes and use the last saved version of the file, choose File > Revert
Content.

To change the location of recovered documents

1 Choose Edit > Preferences > File Handling (Windows) or InCopy > Preferences > File Handling (Mac OS).
2 Under Document Recovery Data, click Choose.
3 Specify the new location for the recovered document, click OK, and then click OK again.

To undo mistakes

If you change your mind or make a mistake, you can cancel a lengthy operation before it completes, undo recent changes, or revert to a previously saved version. You can undo or redo up to several hundred of the most recent actions (the exact number may be limited by the amount of RAM available and the kinds of actions you have performed). The series of actions is discarded when you choose the Save As command, close a document, or when you exit the program.
If you have access to a Version Cue Workspace, you can create and locate different file versions using Version Cue features in InCopy CS.
Do one of the following:
To undo the most recent change, choose Edit > Undo [action]. (You cannot undo certain actions, such as
scrolling.)
To redo an action you just undid, choose Edit > Redo [action].
To undo all changes made since the last time you saved the project, choose File > Revert Content.

Using Adobe Version Cue

Version Cue managed projects

Adobe Version Cue® is an innovative set of features designed to increase your productivity when you work alone or collaborate with others. Version Cue integrates design management into your existing workflows within and across Adobe Creative Suite components, including Adobe Photoshop CS2, Adobe InDesign CS2, Adobe Illustrator CS2, Adobe GoLive CS2, Adobe Acrobat 7, and Adobe Bridge. You can also work with Version Cue in Adobe InCopy CS2.
Version Cue streamlines the following tasks in Adobe Creative Suite:
Creating historical versions and branched alternates of your files.
Maintaining file security.
Organizing files into private or shared projects.
Browsing with file thumbnails, and searching file information and version comments.
Reviewing file information, comments, and file status in private and shared projects while you browse.
29
In addition, you can use the Version Cue Workspace Administration for more advanced tasks:
Initiating and managing online reviews of PDF documents.
Duplicating, exporting, backing up, and restoring projects.
Viewing information about projects in the Version Cue Workspace.
Importing files to the Version Cue Workspace using FTP or WebDAV.
Deleting file versions in batches and removing file locks.
Creating a roster of project users and defining their project privileges.
Restricting access to a specific project.

Availability of Version Cue features

Different Version Cue features are available in different environments:
If you use Adobe Creative Suite, you have access to the full set of Version Cue features, including Version Cue
Administration.
If you use only one component of Adobe Creative Suite, or if you use InCopy and not Adobe Creative Suite, you
have access to thefeaturesofthe Adobedialogbox only.You canuse Bridge,ratherthanthe Adobedialogbox,for file browsing.
ADOBE INCOPY CS2
User Guide
Note: Acrobat 7 and GoLive access Version Cue features differently than other Adobe Creative Suite components and don’t use the Adobe dialog box.
If you don’t have Adobe Creative Suite, you can gain access to the full Version Cue feature set by participating in
a shared project; that is, if another user on your network installs Adobe Creative Suite and gives you access to a Version Cue project in a Version Cue Workspace.

Getting the most out of Version Cue

In Version Cue, you create projects that you and other users access through Adobe Creative Suite components. Projects keep related files together in one place. Version Cue manages the files in these projects. Because Version Cue works in all Adobe Creative Suite components, your design process isn’t interrupted when you work on individual files within a project.
You can use Version Cue in a single application, such as Photoshop CS2, to track changes to a file as you work on it. In addition, workgroups or an individual worker can use Version Cue across applications. Multiple users can manage projects that contain files from all Adobe Creative Suite components. Projects can include non-Adobe files, such as text documents, billing forms, or spreadsheets. When you keep all managed files related to a project in one place, you eliminate the task of tracking down important files.
30
Here’s an example of how you might use Version Cue with Adobe Creative Suite: You start by creating a new project and adding a Photoshop file containing the main image for a printed piece. Then, you add art from Illustrator and text from InDesign. Next, you add GoLive web elements to leverage your printed content for use in a web page. As you and your team work on each piece of the project, Version Cue creates versions to keep track of changes. When it’s time to present the project, you create a PDF of each project file and use the Version Cue Administration utility to set up an online PDF review. Your customers, supervisors, or peer reviewers view and comment on the project using Acrobat.
Working with Version Cue in GoLive
Version Cue is tightly integrated with GoLive to manage the tasks specific to web page creation. Although you access Version Cue differently in GoLive than in Photoshop, Illustrator, InCopy, and InDesign, most of the same features are available.
Working with Version Cue in Acrobat
You access Version Cue from within Acrobat 7 much as you do in the other Adobe Creative Suite components; however, there are some differences. Most Version Cue features are available in Acrobat 7. For more information on using Version Cue in Acrobat 7, see Acrobat 7 Help.

About the Adobe dialog box

In Adobe Creative Suite 2.0 components (except for GoLive and Acrobat 7) and InCopy CS2, you can use the Adobe dialog box when you choose the Open, Import, Export, Place, Save, or Save As commands, even if you don’t use Version Cue. The Adobe dialog box displays additional information, including thumbnails, which make it easy to identify files. You can use the Adobe dialog box when working with both Adobe and non-Adobe files.
Note: In InDesign, if you deselect Always Save Preview Images With Documents in either the File Handling preferences or the Save As dialog box, you won’t see thumbnails for InDesign files in the Adobe dialog box or in Bridge.
By default, when you choose the Open, Import, Export, Place, Save, or Save As commands, the operating system (OS) dialog box appears. To use the Adobe dialog box instead and set it as the default, click Use Adobe Dialog. Use the View menu options to customize the display. You can change back to the OS dialog box at any time by clicking Use OS Dialog.

What’s new in Version Cue CS2

In addition to enhanced performance and reliability, here are some key new features in Version Cue CS2:
Integration with Adobe Bridge View Version Cue projects, work with versions, and make groups of alternates, all
from one central place. From Bridge, you can search for and view all Version Cue files without opening individual Adobe Creative Suite components. You can manipulate files directly in Bridge to avoid delays as files open or as the components start up.
Alternates Alternates allow you to leverage an asset and take your designs in a different direction. For example, if
you want to radically transform a photo that is currently used in a project, but you don’t want to alter the original, you can create an alternate and work with it instead. Use alternates, in addition to versions, to manage your assets.
“About Version Cue alternates” on page 63.
See
Version Cue PDF Review Host online PDF reviews from your own computer or another Version Cue Workspace.
You can include in the review any PDF file in the project, and use the Automatic e-mail generation to quickly invite users to the review. Review comments are collected in the Version Cue Workspace where all reviewers can see and reference them as the review progresses.

About Version Cue projects

Ve rs i o n C u e u s es projects to store related files and folders. If you work independently, you create a project to gather all the files you need, view the files in Bridge, and use Version Cue features such as versions and alternates. In a workgroup, depending on your workflow, you can create one Version Cue project for files that everyone in your workgroup collaborates on, a different project for files that don’t require collaboration, and yet another project restricted to specific users.
When you first open a Version Cue project, Version Cue creates a folder named “Version Cue” in your My Documents(Windows) or Documents(Mac OS) folder,and adds afolderfor theproject to it.Whenyou open afile from that project, Version Cue adds a working copy of thefiletothe projectfolder. As youeditand save intermediate changestoyourfile, youare actually editinginthe workingcopy; theoriginalfileonthe VersionCue Workspaceis protected.

ADOBE INCOPY CS2
User Guide
Version Cue uses a special folder for each project: the documents folder.Thisfolderiswhere VersionCue stores non­GoLive files for each project. When you access the project from Bridge, InCopy, or any Adobe Creative Suite component except Acrobat 7, Version Cue automatically opens the documents folder and temporarily displays the project title as the folder name. (If you access the project using Acrobat 7, the folder is named “documents”.) You’ll also see the documents folder if you open the working copies folder.
If you create a new Version Cue project from GoLive, or if you add a new or existing website to a project, Version Cue creates three additional folders for that project:
Web-content folder Contains the home page (index.html) as well as any website content, including pages, images,
styles, and scripts. You can create separate Pages, Images, and Styles subfolders if necessary. Any files or folders uploaded to a production server should be stored in the web-content folder. Because GoLive uses this folder to manage a site as it’s created, be careful not to store other types of files in this folder. You can create any type and number of subfolders in the web-content folder.
Web-data folder Stores different types of reusable site objects, such as Smart Objects, components, and templates.
This folder contains data used to create the final site. To avoid broken links, missing styles, and similar problems, never store final website content in the web-data folder.
Web-settings folder Stores only the saved settings in the GoLive Site Window and Site Settings dialog boxes.

Creating and editing projects

To begin using Version Cue, you need to create a Version Cue project. When you work with Version Cue, you decide what a project entails. For example, you can create a project to organize files for an entire publishing effort, or you can create a project to manage files for specific aspects of an advertising campaign. You can use a project to organize assets relatedtoaparticular customer or useaprojecttoseparateprivate filesfromfiles that areworkedoncollabo­ratively. You can add files to projects at any time by using Bridge, InCopy, or any Adobe Creative Suite component.
When you create a Version Cue project, you specify a project name, the Version Cue Workspace that hosts the project, and a project description. You specify whether to share the project or keep it private. Shared projects are available to other users; however, you can password-protect shared projects to restrict access to specific users. You can create private projects on a workspace installed on your computer. If you create a project on a computer that is used as a server, it must be shared to be accessible.
You can create projects by using Bridge, InCopy, any Adobe Creative Suite component, or the Version Cue Admin­istration utility. The Version Cue Administration utility provides options for specifying advanced project properties. You create new Version Cue projects with it by importing a folder of files. These files are used as the project starting point.

Working with files in Version Cue

Using working copies

Version Cue projects and files reside in the Version Cue Workspace on the host computer. The master copies of files added to the project, including file versions and other file data, such as comments, version dates, and user IDs, are saved on this host computer. When you work in files from a Version Cue project, you’re editing a working copy of the master file on your computer, not the master file on the Version Cue Workspace, which remains protected and untouched.
As you work, use the Save command to save changes periodically. This command does not create a new version of the master file but updates your working copy. A new version is created only when you choose the Save A Version command. This command first updates the working copy, and then adds a new version to the master file on the Version Cue Workspace. When the working copy of a file matches (is the same version as) the current version in the workspace, the file is synchronized.
Using working copies of master files, several people can work with the most recent version of a master file. For example, if two people need access to the same illustration during overlapping periods of time, Version Cue lets each person work with a working copy of the most recent file version. The second person to access the illustration is informed that the file is already in use. At that time, the second person can decide whether to continue working with the file. Working copies give everyone flexible access to project files and allow work to proceed concurrently when necessary.
Note: Two users can’t edit a file simultaneously in InCopy.
ADOBE INCOPY CS2
User Guide
Working copies allow you to work on a file even when the host workspace is unavailable, or offline. Though some features, such as versions and alternates, can’t be used when you’re working offline, you can edit files and save your work. When the workspace is online again, you can save a version to update the master file.
There are times when you may wish to delete the working copies of your project files. For example, you may want to free up space on your hard drive, or are completely finished working on the project. Version Cue lets you delete your working copies of project files by disconnecting from the project. Disconnecting from a project deletes the working copies projectfolderonyourharddrive.You candothisatany time if none of theworking copies areInUse by you. If you accidentally disconnect from a project, new working copies are recreated the next time you access the project files. If a project is deleted from either the host workspace or your local computer, you can use working copies to recreate the project with the most current versions of the files.
To relocate working copies of a project, edit the project’s properties and use the Change Location feature. For instruc­tions, see
“To edit the properties of a project” on page 40.
Note: Make sure that you use the Change Location feature to relocate working copies, rather than moving the project folder manually in the file system.

File protection in Version Cue

Version Cue automatically informs others that a file is being edited. Version Cue assigns In Use status to a file when you open and edit a file that isn’t being edited by another user. When you save a version, Version Cue removes the file’s In Use status.
Note: In InCopy, you must choose File > Checkin after saving a version to remove the file’s In Use status.
At times two people may need to work with a file simultaneously. For example, User A may begin editing a file but be called away before saving a version. If User B works on the file while User A is away, Version Cue ensures that the two files don’t overwrite each other in the project. User A’s working copy won’t reflect the changes made by User B, and vice versa. When finished with the file, both users can save a new version of the file to the Version Cue Workspace. Version Cue alerts all current users of the file about the presence of a new version in the Version Cue Workspace and gives them the option of downloading the latest version or continuing their current edits. Alterna­tively,users cansavetheir editsasanalternate.(Version Cuealertsusers whohavethe file open or whore-openafile that was previously closed while In Use.)
Note: Two users can’t edit a file simultaneously in InCopy.
ADOBE INCOPY CS2
User Guide
You can use the Version Cue Workspace Administration utility to assign lock protection to a Version Cue project. Only the first user to begin editing an available file in a lock-protected project can save the next version of that file to theVersion Cueproject.Other userswho edit that file simultaneously can’tsavechanges to anew versionofthat file, even after the first user saves a version. These other users must save the changes as completely new files with their own version thread; however, they can designate their file as an alternate of the original file.
The ability to access a file in a lock-protected project provides the flexibility to create proofs or experiment with the design, for example, and then close the file without saving changes.

Each file status has a corresponding icon:
Open Thefileisopenonyourcomputer. This status lets youmakeinformeddecisions aboutwhether it’s appro-
priate, for example, to place a file into a layout while the file is still being edited. The Open status is indicated only for files on your computer.
In Use By Me You are editing the file. Version Cue assigns this status to a file when you make an edit to the file
that changesits content.Youcan manually mark afileinuse before youeditittoindicatetoothersthatyou intend to make changes to the content.
Synchronized The latest known version of the file is available for editing and you have a working copy of it on
your computer. Version Cue assigns this status when you save a version of the file you’re editing, or when you manually synchronize a project.
No Working Copy No local copy of the file exists. This status indicates that it will take a few moments to create
a working copy before you can edit the file.
In Use By <user name> Another user is editing the file and has not yet saved a new version.
Conflicted Copies There is a version conflict, or both you and another user are editing the file.
Only Copy The file in the working copies folder is the only copy known to Version Cue and has not been
synchronized with the Version Cue Workspace. This scenario can occur when a file has been saved in an existing project for the first time while the workspace is offline. Because the workspace is offline, Version Cue displays the OfflineCopystatusuntil theworkspace is back online, andthenchangesthe status to Only Copy.Version Cuealso displays this status if you drag a file from one folder into the working copies folder using the file system instead of Bridge (not recommended). You can edit the file, but it’s important to synchronize(upload thefiletothe workspace) after you save your changes.
Offline Copy There is a local copy of the file in your working copies folder, but the Version Cue Workspace is
offline. There is no way of checking whether the local copy is synchronized with the latest version on the workspace.
ADOBE INCOPY CS2

You can edit an offline copy and save these changes; however, you must save a version or synchronize the file once the workspace comes back online.

Disconnecting from projects

Disconnecting from projects

Disconnecting from a project erases the working copies of files on your computer while leaving the master copies on the Version Cue Workspace intact. Disconnecting also removes shortcuts to the project from Bridge and the Adobe dialog box. You may want to disconnect to free up more space on your hard drive. Or, you might disconnect from a projectifsomeone else in your workgroupdeletes aproject from theVersion CueWorkspace (yourworking copies are not touched by that deletion).
As long as you have saved a version of the working copies there is no harm in discarding them by disconnecting. When you access the project again, new working copies will be created for the current versions of the files you open. If youhaveworking copies with theInUse By Me status,you will notbepermitted to disconnect from aproject until you have saved a version of those files.
When you disconnect from a project, only the working copies and shortcuts on your computer are erased. Leaving the project intact on the workspace allows others, as well as yourself, to access the master files. When you delete a project, allworking copies andshortcuts on your owncomputer, alongwiththe master copies of filesand foldersin the Version Cue Workspace, are erased. However, any working copies and shortcuts on other computers your co­workersoryou previously used to access theproject arenot erased.Tocompletelyremovethe projectand erasethose working copies and shortcuts, you must select the shortcut or project folder and disconnect, even though the project has already been deleted.
You can disconnect from a Version Cue project by using Bridge, Photoshop CS2, Illustrator CS2, InCopy CS2, or InDesign CS2. GoLive CS2 uses a different method for deleting working copies of site files. Disconnect is not available in Acrobat 7.

Deleting files, folders, and projects

Deleting files and folders

Deleting a file or folder from Version Cue is a two-step process that safeguards against accidental deletions. The first step is deleting the file or folder and giving it the Deleted status. Deleting hides the file or folder from normal view butdoesnot eraseit. Thesecondstepispermanently deleting anderasing thefileorfolderand itspreviousversions.
When you delete a folder, the folder and all folders and files nested inside it are hidden and given a Deleted status. When you permanently delete a folder, its entire contents are erased.
ADOBE INCOPY CS2
User Guide
Any user with appropriate privileges can delete files and folders unless the files or folders are marked In Use. In a workgroup, if a user is editing a file that you need to delete, you can reset the file’s lock by using the Version Cue Administration utility.
You can restore files or folders that have a Deleted status. Restoring reinstates Version Cue management. Restored files and folders appear in their previous location in the project folder hierarchy. (Deleted files and folders maintain their relationship within the project hierarchy until they are permanently deleted.)
In Bridge, InCopy, and in Adobe Creative Suite, you can show hidden and deleted files or folders, and view them in search results. Additionally, Version Cue has a Project Trash view from which you can view all deleted files in a project. Use Project Trash to view and handle all deleted files without navigating through the project folder hierarchy.
You can delete individual files or folders in Bridge, InCopy, or any Adobe Creative Suite component.

Version Cue versions

About Version Cue versions

Versions provide a convenient method of retaining work that was performed in different stages. At any point in your design process, you can save a version of the file, which Version Cue saves and tracks. Each version is a snapshot of the file. You can use versions to review ideas or changes with team members or a client before selecting a final version, or to recover from destructive changes.
Version Cue prevents users from overwriting each other’s work. With this protection capability, multiple users can work on a file simultaneously. When more than one user is working on a file, Version cue alerts them all when one user saves a new version, allowing everyone to update the file and work in the latest version.
Note: Two users cannot edit a file simultaneously in InCopy.
You don’t have to save a version every time you save your changes. Using the File > Save command works the same way in Version Cue-managed files as in non-Version Cue files. You need only save a version when you want to create a snapshot of the file. For example, if you change the background color or some text in the layout, and then save a version, you can go back to the previous version without damaging your file. Instead of choosing File > Save As and saving a new copy of a design, you save a version, which allows you to track changes as they occur.
ADOBE INCOPY CS2
User Guide
If you want to continue your work using a previous version instead of the current version, promote the previous version to the next current version (do this instead of opening the previous version directly). This process keeps the previous version intact, should you decide to return to it again in the future. If you want a previous version, along with the current version, to be available for use in a project, you can save the previous version as a separate asset. When you do this, you can then make the previous version a member of a group of alternates, if desired.
You can view previous versions in their native applications. When you no longer need to keep previous versions of files, you can delete them individually or in batches.

Viewing and comparing versions

Versions are always available for you to view and compare. Each version is treated as a separate file, which you can access through the Versions dialog box in all Adobe Creative Suite components and in InCopy. The Versions dialog box displays thumbnails of all file versions alongside comments, dates, and the login name of the user who created the version. Each version is numbered sequentially. You can view any version at any time. You can also promote a version, that is, make a previous version the current one. You can also delete versions if they are irrelevant or if you need to save disk space. When you delete older versions, the version numbers of the remaining versions remain the same.
The Versions And Alternates view in Bridge displays versions of all the files in a project. This view is useful for comparing versions, because all the versions are available in one place for you to view or promote—you don’t need to search your hard drive for saved files. When you want to compare details of versions, you can choose to view each version in its native application.
The commenting features of Version Cue maintain a descriptive history of files. Each time you save or promote a version, you can describe what changes you made. This history helps you track changes made at different stages. Also, your version comments are searchable; you can search for a particular word to find a version quickly.

Version Cue alternates

About Version Cue alternates

VersionCue makesiteasytomanagevariationsofadesign throughthe useof alternates. For example, you can create alternates for variations of a design based on different versions or completely different photos for different editions of a publication.
Youcan usealternatesinseveral ways.For instance,ifyou make extensivechanges to afile, it maymakemoresense to save it as an alternate than a version. When you use alternates, your original file remains untouched and you’re free to continue your design work in a new direction. You can also create alternates for art you’re planning to use in different media, for example, a high-resolution alternate for print and a lower-resolution alternate for web use. Or, you can make alternates from files with totally different content. For example, suppose you are creating an article about fruit production. You might use a photo of an orange for the California edition, a photo of a banana for the Florida edition, and a photo of an apple for the Washington edition. You can save each photo as an alternate.
You can access alternates from Bridge or directly from the Links palette in InCopy, InDesign, or Illustrator, making it easy to present a variety of design ideas to clients and creative directors. Version Cue protects alternates the same way as other assets. When you save an alternate, it appears as a separate file in its project, but Version Cue maintains a relationship between the original file and any alternates you create.
ADOBE INCOPY CS2
User Guide
Version Cue maintains relationships between alternates by creating alternates groups, which you can view together in the Alternates dialog box. You can manually group files into an alternates group by using the Make Alternates command. You create alternates from files in different folders by dragging them between Bridge windows.

Editing and synchronizing offline files

Editing and synchronizing offline files

When youneed to work on filesfromaVersion Cueproject whilethe VersionCue Workspaceisunavailable on the network, you can edit working copies on your computer. When the Version Cue Workspace is available again, you must synchronize your files with the workspace to save your latest version to the Version Cue Workspace. You can synchronize an entire project, just a folder in the project, or a selected file.
Working copies are normally copied on your computer when you open a project from an online workspace. However, if you haven’t yet edited the file, you can prepare to work offline by synchronizing the entire Version Cue project, or just the files you need, while the workspace is still online to ensure that you have working copies.
68
When you are working offline, you can’t create multiple versions because the Save A Version command is unavailable.
In Version Cue CS2, if you intend to work on a file offline, you can manually mark the file In Use before you take your work offline. When you mark a file In Use, Version Cue creates a working copy of the file for you. (You can mark a file In Use even if you don’t intend to work offline.) Typically, when you’re editing a file, In Use appears when other users access a file. When a file’s status is In Use, Version Cue protects the file. When you synchronize your file, the status of the file returns to Synchronized. Mark In Use is not available in Acrobat 7.
If you have edited an offline file recently, you can open it from the File > Open Recent menu.

then navigate to the file. Select one or more files. Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) a file, and then choose Mark In Use. (Mark In Use is not available in Acrobat 7.)
2 When you finish editing the file offline and the Version Cue workspace is again available, synchronize the file in
Bridge or in any Adobe Creative Suite component. Version Cue automatically creates a new version of the file. If the workspace becomes available while you still have the file open, simply save a version.

Logging into and out of the Version Cue Administration utility

When you install Version Cue on your computer, Version Cue automatically creates a default user login ID with administrator privileges. You should change the password for this default user login, as it is publicly available for initial installation and setup. Until you change the default password, the default user login ID can only be used directly from the computer the Version Cue workspace is located on, not across a network. If the Administration utilityisinstalled on your computer,you canstart usingthe web-based VersionCue Administration utilitywiththe Version Cue default login ID (system) and password (system).
Users working in a group with a login ID and password can log into the Version Cue Administration utility. The tasks that workgroup users can perform are limited by the privileges assigned to their Version Cue login ID by the admin­istrator. However, users whose access level is set to None can’t log into the Version Cue Administration utility.
You can display the Version Cue Administration login web page in the following ways:
By opening the Version Cue preferences and clicking the Advanced Administration button.
By clicking the Advanced Administration button in GoLive CS2, Illustrator CS2, InCopy CS2, InDesign CS2,
Photoshop CS2, or Acrobat 7.
By typing the IP address of the Version Cue Workspace directly into a web browser.
By selecting Advanced Administration from the Version Cue system tray icon (Windows) or the Version Cue
menu (Mac OS).

Migrating from Version Cue 1.0 to Version Cue 2.0

If you currently use Version Cue 1.0, you need to migrate your projects and user data to Version Cue 2.0. Keep the following in mind:
Version Cue 1.0 and Version Cue 2.0 Workspaces can be installed and function on the same computer simulta-
neously.
If VersionCue 1.0 andVersion Cue2.0 Workspaces areinstalled on thesamecomputer, AdobeCreativeSuite 1.0
components work only with the Version Cue 1.0 Workspace, because they can communicate only with the port that the Version Cue 1.0 Workspace uses.
Note: If you uninstall the Version Cue 1.0 Workspace and then restart the Version Cue 2.0 Workspace, the Version Cue
2.0 Workspace then uses the Version Cue 1.0 Workspace’s port, allowing Adobe Creative Suite 1.0 components and Adobe Creative Suite 2.0 components to work with the Version Cue 2.0 Workspace.
75
If only the Version Cue 2.0 Workspace is installed, Adobe Creative Suite 1.0 components will work with it.
Adobe Creative Suite 2.0 components work only with Version Cue 2.0 Workspaces.
Adobe Creative Suite 1.0 components work with both Version Cue 1.0 and Version Cue 2.0 Workspaces simulta-
neously as long as the workspaces are not located on the same computer.
You can import Version Cue 1.0 projects and users using the Administration utility (see “To migrate from Version
Cue 1.0 to Version Cue 2.0” on page 75).

Backing up and restoring from Version Cue Administration

Backing up and restoring projects in the Version Cue Administration utility

The Version Cue Administration utility creates backups of all the information in a Version Cue project. Project backups are stored on the Version Cue file system, in the Backups folder. You can then easily restore a backup copy that represents a Version Cue project as it was on a specific date. Restored project backups do not replace the original Version Cue project; restored projects are given different project names. You can use a project backup to move a project from one Version Cue Workspace to another while retaining all the versions of that project.
You can customize a backup configuration for your projects. You can back up a project using a new configuration or an existing configuration. A backup configuration includes the ability to schedule a recurring backup for the project.

Working with users and privileges

Creating and editing users

All users with a Version Cue user name and login (except those whose access level is set to None) can log into the Version Cue Workspace Administration utility. However, the tasks they can perform are limited by the privileges assigned to their user names.
To restrict the Version Cue projects that a user can access, you can edit the project’s existing user names. Or, to restrict access further, you can create new Version Cue user names and assign them to a specific project. Creating new names gives you the most control over a project.
Note: Only users who have system administrator privileges can create new user names.
ADOBE INCOPY CS2
User Guide
If you’ve configured the Version Cue Workspace to be visible to others in the Version Cue Administration utility, you don’t need to create and assign Version Cue user names to let other Adobe Creative Suite or WebDAV users access your Version Cue projects and the Version Cue Workspace. The users simply need either to be on your subnetwork or be given the Version Cue Workspace IP or DNS address and port number. After a user accesses the Version Cue Workspace without using a Version Cue user name, the user name for the user’s own computer is automatically added to the list of users in the Version Cue Workspace, and the password is left blank.
If you’ve configured the Version Cue Workspace so it grants access only to existing users, you’ll need to create Version Cue user names to let other Adobe Creative Suite or WebDAV users access your Version Cue projects and the Version Cue Workspace.

Version Cue PDF reviews

About Version Cue PDF reviews

Using Version Cue you can set up and conduct web-based reviews of PDF documents that are in a Version Cue Workspace. You can invite selected reviewers by e-mail, create the e-mail message in your e-mail program, and include a direct link to the review document in the e-mail. Invited reviewers only need Adobe Acrobat software and a Version Cue login to access the PDF document using their web browser. As the review progresses, reviewers upload their comments to the Version Cue Workspace. In an open review, all reviewers can see each other’s comments in the PDF document as the review progresses.
You can specify when the review ends or stop a review at any time. When a review is complete, you can view all comments either in the context of the original document or as a list in the Version Cue Administration utility. When you view the comments in the context of the PDF document, all of the Acrobat commenting tools are available, including printing.
Version Cue PDF reviews are especially useful in the late stages of a project when there isn’t time to arrange a tradi­tional paper-based review. They are also useful when reviewers are dispersed over a wide geographical area. Aggre­gated comments make it easy to summarize comments and track the progress of the review.

Initiating a Version Cue PDF review

You use the Version Cue Administration utility to initiate and manage a Version Cue PDF review. From the Version Cue PDF review area in the utility, you can start reviews and invite reviewers, find reviews in which you’re partici­pating, search for review documents, view review comments (as well as filter the comments by reviewer), stop reviews, and delete finished reviews. You can also reopen completed reviews.

Version Cue stores review comments in the Version Cue Workspace. You can view comments in the Version Cue Administration utility or directly in the PDF document. To view all review comments directly in the document, you must access the document either by using the link from the review invitation or by opening the review document from the Version Cue Administration utility. (If you open the review document from the Open dialog box in Acrobat or from Bridge, the review comments aren’t visible.)
For more information about Acrobat commenting tools, search for “commenting” in Acrobat Help.

Chapter 4: Working with InCopy documents

Using an InCopy workflow

About InCopy workflows

Tight integration between InCopy and InDesign enables a workflow that lets writers, editors, and designers work simultaneously on the same InDesign document, without overwriting each other’s work. The workflow system allows users to check files out and in, thereby preserving file integrity.
InCopy users can view their content contributions within the context of layouts without installing InDesign. Using InCopy, writers and editors can take full control of text, including typesetting functions such as applying formatting styles (usually imported from InDesign), copyfitting, adjusting line and page breaks, setting hyphenation, kerning, and so on. InCopy users can import graphics to enhance their stories, and make limited transformations on those graphics, such as scaling and cropping. When the content is ready, InCopy can be used to update the document in InDesign. In addition, InDesign users can share design updates with InCopy users, ensuring they are working with the latest layouts.

Typically, a system integrator customizes the interaction between InCopy and InDesign, setting up and defining the workflow system for the group. The workflow system controls file creation, synchronization (with the master server), and viewing. InCopy and InDesign work with several different workflow systems, including the built-in system enabled by the InCopy LiveEdit Workflow plug-ins for small workgroups. For specific details about your workflow system, talk to the system integrator. For more information about the workflow enabled by the LiveEdit Workflow plug-ins, see
“Sharing content” on page 124.

Methods of working on content in InCopy

Content is either a body of text that flows through one or more frames, or an imported graphic. There are four basic ways to work on content in InCopy: open an assignment file, open a linked InCopy file, open an InDesign file with linked InCopy files, or create a stand-alone InCopy document.
Open an assignment file created in InDesign
InDesign users can create an assignment file and populate it with pointers to selected frames, spreads, or documents. This method lets the InDesign user associate related components (heading, body, graphics, captions, and so on), and then assign them to different InCopy users for writing and editing. InCopy users open the assignment file (which is much smaller than the InDesign file), and then work on only the components assigned to them. The live layout view shows how their edited copy relates to the InDesign layout, without opening the entire InDesign document. However, if the layout changes, the InDesign user must update assignments in order to notify InCopy users about the changes. (For more information, see “About assignment files” on page 128.)

Open linked InCopy files exported from InDesign
In certain workflows, InDesign users might export text and graphics as separate files, rather than wrapping them inside an assignment file. Exporting separate files is useful if you work on unrelated graphics or bodies of text. However, InCopy users will not be able to see how the content fits within the InDesign layout, unless they open the InDesign file or assignment file in InCopy. This can be time-consuming for a large InDesign document, especially if it is located on another networked computer. (For more information about exporting InDesign content using this method, see
“To export content as separate InCopy files (InDesign)” on page 131.)

Open an InDesign document with linked InCopy files
To see all page items in the context of the entire layout, InCopy users can open the InDesign document in InCopy. This can be time-consuming, compared to opening a compact assignment file, but it is useful for editing and copyfitting if seeing the overall layout is important. You can edit text in any view, using the exact styles in the layout. If the InDesign user changes the layout, you are notified when he saves the InDesign document.
Compose the content entirely in InCopy
You can create content directly in InCopy. You can type text, assign fonts and styles, and import graphics from other applications (such as Illustrator and Photoshop) to enhance the text. You can also assign tags for future XML use. This is a good option in an editorial workflow where the content precedes the design. You can also set up and modify the text area, page size, and orientation for stand-alone documents. But if the story is later linked to an InDesign document, the InDesign settings override the settings used in InCopy. The majority of this chapter is devoted to working with stand-alone documents. (See “To create a stand-alone document” on page 97.)
