Instant text editing capabilities of any InDesign document

Have you tried to use Adobe InCopy and found the assignments and check in/check out process difficult, challenging and confusing? CrossTalk for Adobe InCopy offers a smarter and simpler approach.

The CrossTalk plug-in for Adobe InCopy enables you to use InCopy the way many users expect it to work; open the INDD file, convert to CrossTalk, edit any text, save and close... the way it ought to be.

CrossTalk enables workgroups of copywriters, art directors and others involved to work on the same document but only allowed to change whats under their responsibility. The copywriter works in Adobe InCopy, a specialized tool for writing, while the art director works in Adobe InDesign with full control of the document.

Q&A

Q: Will my Art Director have to save in any special format or do some kind of "exporting" for me to be able to open the InDesign document and edit the text?

A: No. Absolutely NOT.

Q: When opening an InDesign document in InCopy with CtrlCrossTalk I get a dialog asking if I would like to convert the document in to CrossTalk format, does this affect the document in any way?

A: No. The document is not altered in any way. It remains fully compatible with InDesign, and no special plug-ins are required to edit the document in InDesign.

Q: Is Adobe InCopy difficult to learn, and what about CrossTalk?

A: No, it is actually easier than learning a regular text processing software. CrossTalk has no learning curve.
