Incopy introduction

Overview
This course allows the user to experience an InDesign-InCopy CS3 workflow and edit files using InCopy. The first part of the course allows users to learn the control mechanism of the workflow and the InCopy editing features from their local computers. In the latter part of the course they experience checking out, editing and checking in files from a central server. This course can be customised to emulate any existing InCopy workflow that delegates may be using.

Prerequisites
Good Mac or PC skills, some knowledge of print processes and InDesign would be useful.
