"Adobe® InCopy® CS3 software is a professional writing and editing program that tightly integrates with Adobe InDesign® CS3 software to enable collaborative editorial workflows."

When contemplating an InCopy workflow, there are two primary areas of concern... From editors: "Will I now be doing more styling than writing?" From designers: "Will I be opening up my layouts to the graphically impaired?"

Though they are too polite to say this out loud, the worries are well-founded. In our May 21st meeting, we plan to address three areas:

Field-Tested InDesign Tips for InCopy Workflow
Both editors and designers will benefit from these rapid styling and layout tips. This includes suggestions for re-engineering documents to make them even more InCopy-compatible.

InCopy Features and CS3 Enhancements
Editors will get an effective tour of the InCopy workspace and see functionality available only in InCopy. By the end of this segment, authors/editors will have the foundation to create high-powered InDesign-compatible documents, as well as edit existing ones.

Developing an InCopy Workflow
Tips for examining your editorial and design needs, then blending a solution that can be flavored to your taste. There are several ways for Editors and Designers to "connect" using InCopy/InDesign. We will give you a way to gain experience with the tools, then "migrate" to more involved methods for connection and collaboration.

Your Tour Guide: Jim Cooper - Vice President of Implementations, Apsiva Publishing Solutions (www.apsiva.com) and Chair of the Reno InDesign User Group, has over 30 years of pre-press, content management and multi-channel publishing experience.
