Layout View: Navigating, Zooming, Etc.
InCopy vs Word
Layout-Aware
InCopy shows real fonts, sizes, and copy fit; Word doesn't.
Paragraph Styles
Editor sees the actual styled output, not Word's approximation.
Live Sync
Changes appear in InDesign instantly, no copy-paste round trip.
Editorial Tools
Track changes, notes, and copy fit — built for editors.
Noble Desktop's Graphic Design Certificate covers InDesign — the layout app that pairs with InCopy for editorial workflows.
Master the art of navigating the Layout view by learning how to zoom in and out, scroll around a page and view other pages with convenient tools and keystrokes.
Zooming in & Out
Using the Tool:
Select the Zoom tool 
and:
| To zoom in: | In the Layout, click on something you want to see larger on-screen. |
| To zoom out: | Hold Option (Mac) or ALT (Windows) and click anywhere on-screen. |
Using Keystrokes:
| Zoom in: | Command–Plus(+) (Mac) or Control–Plus(+) (Windows) |
| Zoom out: | Command–Minus(-) (Mac) or Control–Minus(-) (Windows) |
Scrolling Around a Page
Using the Tool:
Select the Hand tool 
and drag on the document to scroll.
Using a Keystroke:
While in the Type tool 
, you can hold Option (Mac) or ALT (Windows) and drag on the document to scroll. This way you don’t need to use the Hand tool .
Viewing Other Pages

and choose a different page (shown below).
