Define custom document presets
You can create custom document settings and then share them with others in your workgroup to save time and ensure
consistency when creating similar documents.
1 Choose File > Document Presets > Define.
2 Do one of the following:
• To create a new preset, click New and specify a name for the preset.
• To base a preset on an existing one, select a preset from the list and click Edit.
• To use a different set of settings, click Load, open a document settings file (.icst), and then click Edit.
3 Select basic layout options in the dialog box that appears. (See Work with stand-alone documents for a description
of each option.)
4 Click OK twice.
You can save a document preset to a separate file and distribute it to other users. To save and load document preset files,
use the Save and Load buttons in the Document Presets dialog box.
Linking InCopy files to InDesign
When a stand-alone InCopy story is linked to an InDesign document, the InDesign formatting overrides the InCopy
layout and design settings.
The link between InCopy files and InDesign layouts can be made a number of ways in InDesign, usually by placing an
InCopy (.icml) file into an InDesign layout.
Using Adobe Bridge with InCopy
Adobe Bridge is a cross-platform application included with AdobeCreative Suite components that helps you locate,
organize, and browse the assets you need to create print, web, video, and audio content. You can start Adobe Bridge
from any Creative Suitecomponent (except Adobe Acrobat), and use it to access both Adobe and non-Adobe asset
types.
From Adobe Bridge, you can:
• Manage image, footage, and audio files: Preview, search, sort, and process files in Adobe Bridge without opening
individual applications. You can also edit metadata for files, and use Adobe Bridge to place files into your
documents, projects, or compositions.
• View the links inside an InDesign or InCopy document as thumbnails while in Adobe Bridge, without actually
having to open the document.
• Perform automated tasks, such as batch commands.
• Synchronize color settings across color-managed Creative Suite components.
• Start a real-time web conference to share your desktop and review documents.
Browse for files by using Adobe Bridge
Adobe Bridge lets you efficiently organize, browse, and locate the assets you need to create content for print, the web,
and mobile devices.
❖ To open the Adobe Bridge Browser, choose File >Browse In Bridge or click the Adobe Bridge icon in the
application bar.
