Description
InCopy and InDesign CS4 Workflow Essential Training introduces designers and copy editors to a dynamic creative process. Anne-Marie Concepcin demonstrates how InCopy integrates with InDesign to make publishing faster, more efficient, and more collaborative. She shows the steps editors and designers can take to work concurrently, reducing the number of revision rounds and offering editors more control over the final publication. For those familiar with this workflow, Anne-Marie highlights several new CS4 features, including automatic cross-references, conditional text, built-in screen sharing, and the ability to edit table text in Story view or Galley view. Exercise files accompany the course.
Topics include:
* Setting up a workflow: requirements and recommendations;
* Allowing multiple InCopy users to access a single InDesign file;
* Using InCopy's editorial tools and word processing features;
* Managing an InDesign workflow;
* Creating cross-references, hyperlinks, and footnotes;
