Using the Story Editor
If you need to enter many text edits, rewrite a story, or cut a story, you can isolate the text
with the Story Editor. The Story Editor window works as follows:
•
It shows plain text with no formatting applied. Any graphics and other nontext ele-
ments are omitted to make editing easier.
•
The column to the left of the text displays a vertical depth ruler and the name of
the paragraph style that is applied to each paragraph.
•
Dynamic spelling (if enabled) highlights misspelled words, just like in the docu-
ment window.
•
If the Enable In Story Editor option is selected in Type preferences, you can also
drag and drop text in the Story Editor, just as you did in the previous exercise.
•
In Story Editor Display preferences, you can customize the font, size, background
color, and more for the Story Editor window.
The article on the second spread does not fit into the two text frames available. To fix this,
you will edit the text with the Story Editor.
1.
Choose View > Fit Spread In Window.
2.
Scroll down to the second spread in the document. Using the Type tool ( ), click
in the last paragraph of the story.
Note
If the Story Editor window goes behind the document window, you can
bring it to the front by choosing its name from the bottom of the Window
menu.
3.
Choose Edit > Edit In Story Editor. Position the Story Editor window next to the
far-right column on the spread.
4.
Drag the vertical scroll bar in the Story Editor to the end of the story. Note the line
that indicates the overset text.
