In depth

A closer look at Overset Manager 3.0

SoftCare's Overset Managerfor Adobe InDesign and Adobe InCopy gives you complete control over text length and text overset, enabling you to count, display, edit and print overset text.

Overset Manager calculates text length by number of characters and number of lines in an accessible floating palette. The Overset Manager palette remains open while editing, allowing you to monitor text development as you write. You can measure the length of text in the current selection, text frame or text flow, and see values for the text that fits in the text frames as well as for overset text, separately. In addition, the number of manuscript lines is calculated.
