Display ICML texts_user

Open the InCopy Editor

1. Open ICML text asset in an asset page.
2. On the Overview and Details tabs, you can see the details of the text asset.  
3. To display the ICML text itself, change to the Editor tab.

The text area of the editor displays the text sections that belong to the text asset. If the ICML texts are placed in a layout, you can edit them directly in the Editor for InDesign Documents. You do not have to switch to the associated Text asset first.

​

The Editor for Adobe InCopy Documents with editor window (1) and preview window (2): The editor window has a toolbar (8) and a text field (7) that displays the text sections (6) of the text asset. The preview window has a toolbar (3) and displays a preview (4) if the text sections are placed in an Adobe InDesign document. Move the window divider (5) to the left or right to adjust the size of the windows.

Display paragraph and character styles

Paragraph and character styles need to be defined in Adobe InCopy for the ICML text in order to be displayed and selected in the Editor for InCopy Documents. In the InCopy Editor, you can assign the previously defined paragraph and character styles. The text area of the Editor for InCopy Documents shows the text with all of its formatting using paragraph and character styles. Even if the text is not placed in a layout.

To see which paragraph and character styles are applied in a certain section of a text, click on the text. The toolbar displays the format templates for paragraph and character styles.

The Editor for Adobe InCopy Documents can handle nested paragraph and character formats that are typically created in a folder hierarchy in Adobe InCopy. If a paragraph and character style is assigned to a certain folder, the Editor for InCopy Documents displays it in front of the style in question, separated by a colon. If it is a nested folder, this is separated by a colon before the name of the style.

Zoom text

To zoom in and out of the text, click the zoom drop-down list and select the desired factor in the editor window. The new zoom level applies to all text sections.

To specify an individual zoom factor, click the zoom factor drop-down list, enter a value and press Return.

Text-only Story mode

Click Story mode

 to switch to a text-only view. No formatting is visible. The text from all text sections displays in the same font style and size. Use the text mode for sections with a lot of different formats, for example.

If enabled, non-printable characters such as non-breaking spaces and paragraph icons are visible. If enabled, tracked changes are visible as well.

Display invisible characters

censhare supports the same set of invisible characters as Adobe InCopy.
Invisible characters are, for example, paragraph icons, special break controls or space controls.

Show invisible characters: click Invisible characters

 in the editor toolbar.

Invisible characters display in the text. Invisible characters also display in the text-only Story mode, if the Story mode and the invisible characters are enabled.

Hide invisible characters: click Invisible characters again.

Display anchored objects

In Adobe InDesign, you can anchor objects such as images or boxes to the text. They move with the flow of text in that case. The Editor for InCopy Documents displays anchored objects. You cannot edit or delete the objects, but you can edit the text as usual.

Unlike Adobe InCopy, the Editor for Adobe InCopy Documents uses different markers for displaying the anchored objects in the text window. If it is an asset, the marker shows the asset name and ID. Otherwise, the marker contains the object type.

The editor supports the following anchored objects or combinations of objects: see here.
