3 If you included documents created in earlier versions of InDesign, they will be converted to Adobe InDesign CS5
format when added to the book. In the Save As dialog box, specify a new name for the converted document (or leave
the name as is), and then click Save.
Note: You must convert Adobe PageMaker or QuarkXPress documents before adding them to the book file.
4 If necessary, change the order of the documents in the panel by dragging them up or down to the appropriate
locations in the list.
5 To designate a document as the style source, click the box next to the document’s name in the panel.
To open a document in a book file, double-click the document name in the Book panel.
Manage book files
Each open book file appears on its own tab in the Book panel. If multiple books are open at the same time, click a tab
to bring that book to the front and access its panel menu.
Icons in the Book panel indicate a document’s current status, such as open , missing (the document was moved,
renamed, or deleted), modified (the document was edited or its page or section numbers changed while the book
was closed), or in use (if someone else has the document open in a managed workflow). No icon appears next to
closed documents.
To view the pathname of any document in a book, hold the mouse pointer over the document name until a tooltip
appears. Or, choose Document Information from the Book panel menu.
Save a book file
Book files are separate from document files. For example, when you choose the Save Book command, InDesign saves
the changes to the book, not the documents in the book.
?
Do one of the following:
• To save a book under a new name, choose Save Book As in the Book panel menu, specify a location and filename,
and click Save.
• To save an existing book under the same name, choose Save Book in the Book panel menu, or click the Save
button
at the bottom of the Book panel.
Note: If you are sharing book files over a server, make sure that you have a file management system in place so that you
don’t save over each other’s changes accidentally.
Close a book file
• To close a single book, choose Close Book in the book’s panel menu.
• To close all open books docked together in the same panel, click the close button on the Book panel’s title bar.
Remove book documents

2 Choose Remove Document in the Book panel menu.
Removing the document from the book file doesn’t delete the file on disk; the document is removed only from the book
file.
Replace book documents
