A lock icon indicates that a dictionary is locked and can be used, but not edited. When a user dictionary is stored on
a server, the first user to load the dictionary locks the file; all subsequent users see that the dictionary is locked. Files
can also be locked through the operating system, when the file is made read-only. If you share a user dictionary over
the network server, you may want to lock the file so that it’s read-only for all users, allowing only the administrator to
add words.
Make sure that everyone in the workgroup uses the customized user dictionary installed on the common network
workstation, and not the dictionary stored with a document. However, before you take a document to a service
provider, you might want to merge the user dictionary into the document.
If you don’t share a customized user dictionary on a common network workstation, locate user dictionary files and copy
them from one workstation to another. The location of user dictionaries appear in the Dictionary preferences.
After you update a shared workstation’s user dictionary, the changes don’t appear in individual workstations until a user
restarts InCopy or presses Ctrl+Alt+/ (Windows) or Command+ Option+/ (Mac OS) to recompose all text.
Assign a language dictionary to selected text
If you use more than one language in a stand-alone story (stories not linked to an InDesign layout), you can tell InCopy
which language dictionary to use for spell checking and hyphenating words in a particular language. You can assign
different language dictionaries to the various parts of your document down to a single character of text.
A Glockenspiel in English B Glockenspiel in Traditional German C Glockenspiel in Reformed German
1 Select the text to which you want to assign a dictionary.
2 Choose Type > Character to open the Character panel.
3 At the bottom of the Character panel, choose a dictionary from the Language menu. (If the Language menu doesn’t
appear in the Character panel, choose Customize from the Character panel menu, select Language, and click OK.)
Note: If the InCopy story is linked to an InDesign layout with an embedded hyphenation list, the embedded list governs
spell checking and hyphenation.
Cross-references
If you’re writing a manual or reference document, you may want to include a cross-reference to refer the reader from
one part of your document to another. Example: For more information, see “Field mice” on page 249. You can specify
whether a cross-reference derives from a paragraph style, such as a heading style, or from a text anchor you’ve created.
You can also determine the cross-reference format, such as Page Number Only or Full Paragraph & Page Number.
Insert cross-references
Use the Hyperlinks panel to insert cross-references into your document. The text being referred to is the destination
text. The text that is generated from the destination text is the source cross-reference.
