LibreOffice Writer ou Adobe InCopy : une bonne alternative sous Linux ?

LibreOffice Writer, alternative Linux à Adobe InCopy

Mis à jour le 29 octobre 2026

Notre avis

LibreOffice Writer is a solid, free replacement for Adobe InCopy if your workflow is standard text editing. It handles track changes, spell-checking, and DOCX/ODT files well. However, it lacks InCopy’s tight integration with InDesign. You will not get live layout previews or direct sync with InDesign layouts. If you work in a team using InDesign for final layout, Writer is a partial substitute. It works best for independent writers or those who only need to edit text before handing it off, not for real-time collaborative layout editing.

Ouvrir vos fichiers Adobe InCopy

LibreOffice Writer opens and saves .docx and .odt files reliably, which are common for text handoffs. It does not natively open Adobe InCopy’s .inx files. If you receive .inx files, you must convert them to .docx or .odt using Adobe software or an online converter before opening them in Writer. Exporting to PDF is straightforward, but complex layout elements from InDesign may not translate perfectly into a Writer document.

Install LibreOffice via your package manager or Flathub.
Convert any existing .inx files to .docx or .odt using Adobe InCopy or a third-party tool.
Open the converted files in LibreOffice Writer to verify formatting.

Set up your spell-check language and grammar preferences in Tools > Options.

No. There is no direct integration. You must manually export text from Writer and import it into InDesign, or use intermediate formats like .docx. This breaks the real-time workflow that InCopy provides.

Does Writer support the same track changes features as InCopy?

Yes, Writer has robust track changes functionality, including accepting/rejecting changes and viewing different versions. The interface differs, but the core capability is equivalent for text-based revisions.

Is LibreOffice Writer free to use for commercial work?

Yes. LibreOffice is open-source under the MPL-2.0 license. You can use it for commercial, personal, or educational purposes without paying fees or dealing with licensing restrictions.
