Adobe InCopy CS2 New Features :

Assignments workflow
Work with assignments that contain only the InDesign CS2 elements you need, from a specific area of a page to an entire document. Track and manage file status, and view design changes as the designer makes them available to you.

Flexible graphics placement
Easily place, scale, crop, and rotate images and artwork, including inline graphics, in frames that designers have assigned to them.

Drag-and-drop text
Drag and drop selected text from one area to another as you edit your copy.

Paste without formatting
Automatically strip formatting from copy as you paste it from one location to another in InCopy CS2, or from a source application such as Microsoft Word or e-mail, to your InCopy CS2 file. The pasted text then inherits the formatting applied to its new destination.

Flexible dictionary management
Create and reference multiple dictionaries, including linking to shared dictionaries on a network. Easily import and export word lists from your dictionaries.

Automated text macros
Define text macros to speed entry of frequently used phrases in your copy. Type the macro shortcut — for example, WH for White House — followed by a space, and the shortcut automatically converts to the intended text.

Custom change-tracking display
Customize the way tracked changes are displayed onscreen.
 

Notes mode
Work with notes in the intuitive way editors prefer, with a single, context-sensitive keystroke to convert selected text into a note, a note into text, or to split notes.

Microsoft Word style conflict management
Easily resolve character and paragraph style conflicts when you open and import files from Microsoft Word, RTF, and TXT files. Customize how styles are mapped, preserve local overrides while removing all applied styles, and save all of your settings in a preset for future use.

Standalone copyfit
Set copyfit rules yourself if the actual layout has yet to be defined. Enter values for such parameters as page size, column width, and character count, and begin to create copy to exactly fit your needs.
