New to InCopy need basic info

tkpierson Aug 20, 2014 2:25 PM

My client has several manuals that have many sections the same throughout. They want to be able to make a copy change in one of the InDesign manual documents and have it update in the others without having to open each one and change it. Will InCopy allow me to do that? Or what is the best solution?

Since I am not familiar with how this works, should the client create the copy in InCopy? Or is there a way I can select certain sections in the InDesign document and mark them as areas that will be open to editing in the future? As I said, total newbie to InCopy!

If you're that new, you need to learn how this works FIRST.

My recommendation is to spend some quality time watching Anne-Marie
Concepcion's excellent InCopy training on lynda.com. If you don't have a
subscription this link will get you a one week trial:
