WoodWing Layout 4 for InDesign CS2 - 1-user LD40C1 Manuel D’Utilisation

An  article  typically  consists  of  several

items  such  as  head,  intro  and  body,

which,  without  Smart  Layout,  are
normally  all  separate.  With  Smart
Layout however, all the items that make
up an article are contained as one Smart
Layout element and can be manipulated

as  one  without  losing  access  to  the

individual items in the article.

Smart Layout items flow automatically

around other items already on the page.

You  can  immediately  create  headline

and intro elements or other text frames

inside  the  article  or  use  any  of  the

standard InDesign tools to create image

frames inside.

From  inside  InCopy  you  can  create

structured articles consisting of multiple

text components with control over the

default  number  of  columns  and  the
depth per element. The InCopy layout

view immediately shows you the results.

This enables editors to write an article,

complete  with  a  headline  and  body
columns in place. Of course, you can
also remove Smart Layout components

you  placed  yourself  in  InCopy.  Once
Smart Layout components have been
refreshed  in  the  InDesign  document,

they cannot be changed.

Unused  space  in  the  article  area  is

automatically filled with body columns,

but you can choose for these to remain

empty to provide whitespace.

Smart Layout’s Copyfit allows you to
make your copy fit with a single click.

You can define your rules to be used

to make the copy fit and the Copyfit
palette shows you which changes have
been applied.
