QuarkXPress. Changes made to books are saved when you close the Book palette or quit
QuarkXPress.
Changes to books (such as adding or reordering chapters) are saved automatically when
you close books, or when you quit QuarkXPress. When you open and edit chapters, the
chapter documents need to be saved the same way as any standalone QuarkXPress project,
by using the Save command (File menu).
As members of a workgroup make changes to a book — for example, opening or reordering
chapters in a book — the book is updated to reflect the changes. Only the first user to open
a book can make changes to the book. All other users can open the book in read-only
mode. A user can open chapters of the book that have not yet been opened by other
members, make changes and save. The other users will see the modified state.
Creating books
In QuarkXPress, a book is a collection of documents (chapters). You can create a new book
at any time. To create a new book:
1
Choose File > New > Book.
2
Use the controls in the dialog box to specify a location for the new book file.
3
Enter a name for the book in the Book Name/File name field.
4
Click Create. The new book displays as a window in front of all open documents.
When a book is created a Job Jacket XML file with the same name is also created in the
same location. This Job Jacket file is automatically attached to the QuarkXPress project
when it is added to the book. When the book is copied to another location, this Job Jacket
XML file must also be copied to the new location.
If you store book files in a shared location, multiple users can open books and edit chapters.
To use the Book feature in a multi-user environment, all users must have the same path
from their computers to the book; therefore, the book must be stored on a common network
server rather than a user's computer that is also accessing the book.
Legacy books are not supported in 10 and books in QuarkXPress 10 are not compatible
with books from QuarkXPress 3 to 9. To recreate legacy books you must add existing
chapters to a new book after saving them in the QuarkXPress 10 format.
Working with chapters
Books contain individual print layouts from QuarkXPress projects (called chapters). To
create chapters, you add print layouts from a single project or multiple projects to open
books. Chapters are opened through the Book palette rather than the Open command
(File menu). You can rearrange the chapters within a book and you can remove chapters
from a book. The chapters in a book must be stored on the same volume as the book.
