Linking InCopy files to InDesign

When a stand-alone InCopy story is linked to an InDesign document, the InDesign formatting overrides the InCopy layout and design settings.

The link between InCopy files and InDesign layouts can be made a number of ways in InDesign, usually by placing an InCopy (.icml) file into an

InDesign layout.

Using Adobe Bridge with InCopy

Adobe Bridge is a cross-platform application included with AdobeCreative Suite components that helps you locate, organize, and browse the

assets you need to create print, web, video, and audio content. You can start Adobe Bridge from any Creative Suitecomponent (except Adobe

Acrobat), and use it to access both Adobe and non-Adobe asset types.

From Adobe Bridge, you can:

Manage image, footage, and audio files: Preview, search, sort, and process files in Adobe Bridge without opening individual applications. You

can also edit metadata for files, and use Adobe Bridge to place files into your documents, projects, or compositions.

View the links inside an InDesign or InCopy document as thumbnails while in Adobe Bridge, without actually having to open the document.

Perform automated tasks, such as batch commands.

Synchronize color settings across color-managed Creative Suite components.

Start a real-time web conference to share your desktop and review documents.

Browse for files by using Adobe Bridge

Adobe Bridge lets you efficiently organize, browse, and locate the assets you need to create content for print, the web, and mobile devices.

To open the Adobe Bridge Browser, choose File >Browse In Bridge or click the Adobe Bridge icon in the application bar.

Scripting in InCopy

Scripting is a great tool for performing a variety of tasks. A script can be as simple as an automated common task or as complex as an entire new

feature. You can create your own scripts, and you can run scripts that other people have created. Use the Scripts panel (Window > Utilities >

Scripts) to run scripts within InCopy.

For more information about scripting, see the InCopy Scripting Guide on the Adobe website.
