cross-reference, any local formatting changes are removed.

Copyfitting text
InCopy keeps track of several text statistics and makes this data available in the Copyfit Info toolbar. As you write your

Progress Info box turns red and displays the amount you need to cut to fit copy into the frame. (See
Note: The red bar is always the same length. It does not reflect any percentage of the space available.
