Introduction

Adobe InCopy CS2 allows writers and editors to work on pages, spreads, or entire documents using a true writer's tool, while the designers design those same documents simultaneously in Adobe InDesign CS2. The ability to achieve 100 percent accurate copyfitting, employ professional-quality editorial tools, and participate in a streamlined workflow would be any writer's dream. The dream is now a reality with InCopy CS2. In a just few short years, InDesign has changed workflows in professional publishing, and InCopy is a major part of that change. Virtually any InDesign publication can benefit from adding InCopy to the workflow, and this book shows you how to get it done.

This book is for anybody using or evaluating InCopy in their workflow. It's also for anybody who uses InDesign and wants to collaborate more easily with their editorial department. This book is for anybody who's tired of being interrupted with, "It looks like you're writing a letter."

The growth and interest around InCopy have been phenomenal over the last 18 months, and this is the first book to document InCopy and the LiveEdit Workflow. It's written by two industry veterans and Adobe insiders with the support of the InCopy and InDesign product teams.
