Customizing preferences and defaults
About preferences
Preferences include settings such as panel positions, measurement options, and display options for graphics and
typography.
The difference between preferences and defaults is the area to which each applies. Preference settings specify the initial
appearance and behavior of certain InCopy features. Default settings apply to InCopy documents.
Note: InCopy preference settings are fully scriptable. To share a consistent set of preferences across user groups, develop a
script to set the preferences, and then have all users in the group run the script on their computers. Don’t copy and paste
one user’s preferences files onto another computer, as doing so might cause application instability. For more information
about scripting, see the InCopy Scripting Guide on the Adobe website.
Set defaults
If you change settings when no documents are open, your changes set the defaults for new documents. If a document
is open when you change settings, the changes affect only that document.
Similarly, if you change settings when no objects are selected, your changes set the defaults for new objects.
Change default settings for new documents
1
Close all documents.
2
Change any menu items or panel or dialog box settings.
If you use the same page size and language for most of your documents, you can change these defaults with no document
open. For example, to change the default page size, close all documents, choose File > Document Setup, and select a
desired page size. To set a default dictionary, close all documents, choose Edit > Preferences > Dictionary (Windows) or
InCopy > Preferences > Dictionary (Mac OS), and select an option from the Language menu.
Specify default settings for new objects in a document
1
With document open, choose Edit >Deselect All.
