Galley, Story, and Layout view overview

InCopy offers three views of a story: Galley, Story, and Layout. These terms correspond to the terms used in traditional
publishing.

Galley view

Displays text with line breaks established in the corresponding Adobe InDesign® document. If text doesn’t

fit into the assigned layout space, an overset indicator marks the point at which the InCopy text exceeds the space.
Although you can use InCopy to apply formatting, such as paragraph indents and font size, these formats don’t appear
in Galley view.

Story view

Displays text in a continuous stream, wrapping the text at the document window. Story view doesn’t show

accurate line endings, so you can concentrate on content. However, if text doesn’t fit into the assigned layout space, an
overset indicator marks the point at which the InCopy text exceeds the space. In Story view, the information area
displays only paragraph styles. Line numbers aren’t visible in Story view.

Story view opens by default when you create a new InCopy story.

To change the default view for new documents, close all documents and select the view you want as the default from
the View menu.
