Adobe InCopy is a word processor available with Adobe Creative Cloud or as a standalone application. It comes with several word processing tools and integrates with Adobe InDesign.

InCopy allows collaboration between content writers and designers who use InDesign. For example, a designer can work on the page layout while a separate writer simultaneously creates or edits the content. InCopy also includes management tools to control what part of the project each team member is working on to prevent content from being overwritten.

Adobe InCopy has many features that add convenience to your workflow. For example, with the advanced font search and filter tool, you can find the exact font you are looking for, and with Sync Fonts, you can add new fonts from the Adobe Typekit library. In addition, you can place images in tables, manage colors with color swatch folders, and add paragraph borders. Also, if you want to expand the functionality of InCopy, you can search Adobe Exchange for extensions, plugins, and templates from a convenient panel in the program.

Summary

InCopy is a solid word processing program designed to simplify collaboration with InDesign. If you are working individually or with a team on an InDesign project, InCopy is a great tool worth trying. However, more suitable options are available if you need a basic word processor.
