Customizing preferences and defaults

About preferences

Preferences include settings such as panel positions, measurement options, and display options for graphics and typography.

The difference between preferences and defaults is the area to which each applies. Preference settings specify the initial appearance and behavior of certain InCopy features. Default settings apply to InCopy documents.

Poznámka:

InCopy preference settings are fully scriptable. To share a consistent set of preferences across user groups, develop a script to set the preferences, and then have all users in the group run the script on their computers. Don’t copy and paste one user’s preferences files onto another computer, as doing so might cause application instability. 

Set defaults

If you change settings when no documents are open, your changes set the defaults for new documents. If a document is open when you change settings, the changes affect only that document.

Similarly, if you change settings when no objects are selected, your changes set the defaults for new objects.

Change default settings for new documents

  1. Close all documents.
  2. Change any menu items or panel or dialog box settings.
Poznámka:

If you use the same page size and language for most of your documents, you can change these defaults with no document open. For example, to change the default page size, close all documents, choose File > Document Setup, and select a desired page size. To set a default dictionary, close all documents, choose Edit > Preferences > Dictionary (Windows) or InCopy  > Preferences > Dictionary (Mac OS), and select an option from the Language menu.

Specify default settings for new objects in a document

  1. With document open, choose Edit >Deselect All.
  2. Change any menu items or panel or dialog box settings.

Customize user interface scaling

Configure scaling preferences in InCopy to uniformly scale the user interface based on your screen resolution. Elements of the user interface are scaled accordingly, making for comfortable viewing on high-resolution monitors. When you launch InCopy with fresh preference settings, it identifies your screen resolution and adjusts the application’s UI scaling accordingly.
Note
 UI scaling is not supported on screens with low resolution.

To set the user interface scaling:

  • (Win) Select Edit > Preferences > User Interface Scaling
  • (macOS) Select InCopy > Preferences > User Interface Scaling

In the User Interface Scaling dialog, use the following options to customize the user interface:

  • UI: Adjust the UI Sizing slider to increase or decrease the scaling of the UI based on your requirements. In general, high-resolution monitors need a higher scaling factor. A preview of the scaled UI is displayed next to the slider. Restart InCopy to apply the updated settings. If you choose to restart later, changes will take effect the next time you launch InCopy.
    Note: The number of stops displayed in the slider depends on the resolution of your screen. More stops are displayed for screens with higher resolutions.
  • Scale Cursor Proportionately: When enabled (ON by default), this option scales the cursor icons in proportion to the UI.
  • Bounding Box Display Size: Adjust the slider to scale the display size of the bounding box.

For issues on scalable UI , see FAQ.
