Viewing modes

The InCopy software has three viewing modes: (i) Story mode, (ii) Galley mode, and (iii) Layout mode. The Story mode is for text reading and -editing in a screen-wide, word-processor view without the publication page formatting. The Galley mode view displays the text in a wide-column, published page view without the page formatting, listing the available style sheets applied to the text; but does not display the true design layout. The Layout mode view shows the true page design layout displaying every format applied to the text and the attached headlines.

A headline is text at the top of a newspaper article, indicating the nature of the article below it. ...
