InCopy documents
Last updated 6/15/2014
Managed (linked) InCopy stories include low-resolution proxy data for images so that the full-resolution image doesn’t
have to be downloaded from the server whenever the file is checked out.
1 Select Edit > Preferences > Display Performance (Windows) or InCopy > Preferences > Display Performance (Mac
OS).
2 For Adjust View Settings, choose the display option you want to customize.
3 For each display option, move the slider for Raster Images or Vector Graphics to the desired setting:
Gray Out Draws an image as a gray box.
Proxy Draws images at proxy resolution (72 dpi).
High Resolution Draws images at the maximum resolution supported by the monitor and current view settings.
4 For each display option, move the slider for Transparency to the desired setting:
Off Displays no transparency effects.
Low Quality Displays basic transparency (opacity and blend modes), and transparency effects (drop shadow and
feather) are shown in a low-resolution approximation.
Note: In this mode, page contents are not isolated from the background; therefore, objects with blend modes other than
Normal might appear different in other applications and final output.
Medium Quality Displays low-resolution drop shadows and feathers. This mode is recommended for most work
unless the document is particularly transparency-heavy, or has many transparency effects.
High Quality Displays higher-resolution (144 dpi) drop shadows and feathers, CMYK mattes, and spread isolation.
Note: When a document’s blending space is CMYK and you have either enabled the overprint preview mode or soft
proofing, opacity matting is done in CMYK rather than RGB. This means that partially transparent CMYK colors
display as tinted CMYK colors.
5 To view anti-aliasing for text, stroke, fill, and other page items, choose Enable Anti-aliasing. If text is converted to
outlines, then the resulting outlines can be anti-aliased (Mac OS only).
6 To set the point size below which text displays as a dimmed bar, type a value for Greek Type Below.
7 Click OK.
To reset all controls back to the original default settings, click Use Defaults.
Frame grids
About frame grids in InCopy documents
When you create a new document in InCopy, you can decide whether the text area will contain a frame grid or plain
text frame. A frame grid includes a set of squares into which Japanese characters appear. Frame grids are essentially the
same as plain text frames in function and appearance except that they contain grids that can affect the appearance of
text.
