Chapter Update Status
Unchanged
With the InDesign and InCopy inline editorial-notes features, you can add comments and annotations as notes directly to text without affecting the flow of a story. Notes features are designed to be used in a workgroup environment. Notes can be color coded or turned on or off based on certain criteria.
Notes can be created using the Note tool in the toolbox, the Notes > New Note command, or the New
Note icon on the Notes palette.
We assume that you have already read
Chapter 2, “Getting Started”
and know how to create, install, and run a script. We also assume you have some knowledge of working with notes in InCopy.
Entering and importing a note
This section covers the process of getting a note into your InCopy document. Just as you can create a note and replace the text of the note using the InCopy user interface, you can create notes and insert text into a note using scripting.
Adding a note to a story
To add note to a story, use the add method. The following sample adds a note at the last insertion point.
For the complete script, see InsertNote.
tell application "Adobe InCopy CS6" set myStory to story 1 of active document tell myStory
--Add note to a default story. We'll use the last insertion point in the story.
tell insertion point -1
--Add text to the note set myNote to make note set contents of text 1 of myNote to "This is a note." end tell end tell end tell
