Ĭost! Each of your authors and editors needs an InCopy license, while only your production (InDesign) users need a WordsFlow license.Senior Manager, National Geographic Editorial. ![]() And your InDesign production folks will be glad your authors and editors don’t get to meddle with those details. It’s a well-known trope that dealing with the details of text formatting while writing is a huge distraction from the real job at hand. With WordsFlow, your authors and editors don’t need to be burdened with all the styling and other layout details in the InDesign story. ![]() When an InCopy story is checked in, that’s it. WordsFlow is more production proof in that you can control the formatting on the InDesign side and review changes made by the editors before accepting. WordsFlow allows you to link document formats that can be used for other purposes. ICML (the InCopy native document format) can really only be used to feed InDesign. InCopy stops all other work on a story while it’s checked out. WordsFlow enables InDesign production to proceed in parallel with editing in Word. It just makes you, the production user or team, look a lot faster, smarter, and more accurate. In fact, your Word users don’t even have to know you’re using WordsFlow–it’s entirely invisible to them. ![]() InCopy is basically “baby InDesign,” and is a completely foreign world to Word users. ![]() They can stay productive in their long- and hard-earned knowledge of Word, with all its editorial power. If your authors/editors have used Word all their lives, there’s no need to change their work habits or learn something new, using WordsFlow. However, working with WordsFlow does have some serious advantages: InCopy is a great solution if you need your authors and editors to work with exactly what’s going to be seen in the final InDesign document. (We just added this section to the WordsFlow product page, and thought it was worth sharing here.)
