From editors: "Will I now be doing more styling than writing?"

From designers: "Will I be opening up my layouts to the graphically impaired?" Though they are too polite to say this out loud, the worries are well founded.

In the usergroup meeting on July 8th, Jim will address three areas:

Field Tested InDesign Tips for InCopy Workflow
Both editors and designers will benefit from these rapid styling and layout tips. This includes suggestions for re-engineering documents to make them even more InCopy-compatible.

InCopy Features and CS3 Enhancements
Editors will get an effective tour of the InCopy workspace and see functionality available only in InCopy. By the end of this segment, authors/editors will have the foundation to create high-powered InDesign-compatible documents, as well as edit existing ones.

Developing an InCopy Workflow
Tips for examining your editorial and design needs, then blending a solution that can be flavored to your taste. There are several ways for Editors and Designers to "connect" using InCopy/InDesign. Jim will give you a way to gain experience with the tools, then "migrate" to more involved methods for connection and collaboration.

Presented by Jim Cooper - Vice President of Implementations, Apsiva Publishing Solutions and Chair of the Reno InDesign User Group. Jim has over 30 years of pre-press, content management and multi-channel publishing experience.
