Layout view overview
In Layout view, you see text and other elements exactly as they are formatted and positioned in an InDesign document.
Stories are laid out in frames, just as they appear in InDesign.
If you work with a linked story—a managed story within an open InDesign document or assignment file—you cannot
modify the story layout with InCopy. You can work only with the text and text attributes.
If you work with a stand-alone InCopy document—an individual InCopy document that isn’t within an open InDesign
document or assignment file—you can work with the text and text attributes, and you can change the page size using
the Document Setup command.
Layout view offers more tools and View-menu commands than the other views. You can use the Hand tool, the Zoom
tool, and the Zoom commands to view a spread at various magnifications. You can also use various layout aids, such as
rulers, document grids, and baseline grids.
Note: These viewing options don’t affect formatting. For example, zooming in to enlarge your view of the page doesn’t
change the way the story appears in InDesign or when printed.
About frames
In the Layout view of a document in progress, you see one or more boxes on the page. These nonprinting boxes might
contain text, graphics, or nothing. The boxes represent frames—spaces in the layout reserved for specific elements. Each
frame is defined to contain either text or a graphic. Non-managed stories in an InDesign document or in an assignment
file are dimmed so that they can be identified easily.
Text frames Control which stories appear where, and how much page area they cover. For linked stories, frames are
defined by the InDesign user. If multiple frames are set aside for a story, the frame configuration determines how the
story text flows through the layout.
Graphics frames Can function as borders and background, and can crop or mask graphics. You can work with graphics
inside frames in InCopy, and you can see the graphics frames from InDesign layouts when you work with linked
documents. You can also work with the frames of inline graphics (embedded in text), but you cannot work with other
graphics frames. (See
Create an inline graphic .)
Empty frames Are placeholders. You can distinguish empty text frames from empty graphics frames by their
appearance. An empty box represents an empty text frame; a box with an X across it indicates an empty graphics frame.
You can add text to an empty text frame only if the frame is associated with the story exported to InCopy from
InDesign. You can also import or paste graphics into an empty graphics frame in InCopy.
