InCopy

[Lou Wrench]

Is there any one out there using InCopy for text-book setting (or any kind of work)? If not why not? I am interested if it could make my life easier and/or more productive

Does it export as text files? For some reason InDesign doesn't seem to be able to export text files. If InCopy can do that then I could use it. Thanks for the idea.

If you have the type cursor blinking in your text box you can FILE>EXPORT>Rich Text Format.

If it's not in the text box it won't export. But it will only export the story, not the whole text.

There is a script in the Automate panel to export all stories and you select RTF from there too.

I think InCopy is good if clients have it and know how to use it, but word files that are RTF are easily reimported if the styles are maintained.

Cool, thanks. I'll try that.
