How to Link Text Between Two InDesign Documents
Find out how to link text in one InDesign document to a completely separate document, using conditional text and even an InCopy feature.
In this Three Minutes Max video, Russell Viers shares a genius tip for jumping text in one document to continue in another document. By using a feature of InCopy—but without ever actually opening that program—he is able to keep an editable, threaded story between two completely separate files.
Three Minutes Max comes from a fun—yet very competitive—session at our annual CreativePro Week conference. Speakers have three minutes (max!) to wow the audience with the tip and win a prize for a lucky conference attendee.
