StoryTweaker ($99) plug-in lets editors and writers access your InDesign file’s text without needing to own InDesign or InCopy. The plug-in lets one InDesign user do a Save As to create an unlimited number of AssignmentTweaker sets, which is what the editors open and work on. The workflow is spelled out on the StoryTweaker site, and there’s a 20-day free trial available. Special for InDesignSecrets listeners: Get 30% the StoryTweaker plug-in (reducing the cost from $99 to $69) if you use the code INDESIGNSECRETS185 when you buy it.
