11) Once I'm finished reading through the pdf, I copy all the corrections that I've written in the TextEdit document and paste them into an email, which is sent back to our designer.10) Every time I see something wrong, I write (in a TextEdit document) where the error is located and what correction needs to be made.9) I open the PDF and start reading through it.8) I download the PDF to my local computer.6) Our page designer designs the rest of the page or spread, and exports the results as a PDF.5) Our page designer then copies the text from the Word document I send them (after accepting all my changes) and pastes it into an InDesign spread.4) I save the document with its Track Changes with a new name (so others know I fixed it) and email the document to our page designer.3) I open the Word document, and make changes to it (fixing typos, rewording clunky passages, fine-tune syntax, etc.) with Track Changes.2) I download the Word document to my local computer.1) An article (usually written by a reporter) is sent to me as a Microsoft Word document. TL DR: I am an editor for a small magazine publisher looking for a way to streamline our workflow and I am wondering if using InCopy is any more efficient than what we currently do (a combination of Microsoft Word, InDesign, TextEdit, email, and a lot of copying and pasting)? I am especially curious to know if a copy editor can use InCopy to make real-time edits to an InDesign document while the designer adjusts the layout of a page or spread.Įxplanation of our current workflow for context:
