You said: You sort of lost me as far as the anchored frames go. I don't see why
that's even relevant but I may be missing something here.

We need the headlines and storys to be in separate text boxes in the same InCopy file. That way when the files are placed in InDesign the headline is in one text box and the story is in another which is divided into columns. The only way I can find to accomplish this is to use anchored text frames. If the reporter just makes a new InCopy document and starts typing away, when imported into InDesign everything (headline and story) are in the same text box (nothing is in columns) and the designers then have to cut and paste the headline into a new text box.

You also said: You can start off with Word and place that. The designer
does all the formatting and then exports the InCopy content.

Do you mean the reporters type their stories in Word, we then place them in InDesign and then export the copy so the reporter can make changes? If this is what you mean, I don't see how it could be very efficient as every story would have to be placed then exported and then updated again in InDesign. But as I said before I'm new to InCopy and I'm trying to figure it out as I go.
