Working with sectioned chapters
If a chapter contains a section start, the section page numbering remains in effect
throughout the book until QuarkXPress encounters a new section start. For example,
when the first chapter in a book is a section with a page number prefix of "A" all the
pages in following chapters will have the "A" prefix until QuarkXPress encounters a
new section. In this example, the second chapter might be a new section with a "B"
prefix.
You can add, change, and delete sections in book chapters at any time (Page > Section).
If you remove all the sections from all the chapters in a book, the book will revert to
sequential page numbering.
To view chapter page numbers in the Book palette, you must use automatic page
numbering.
Working with nonsectioned chapters
If chapters do not have sections, QuarkXPress creates a "book chapter start" for the
first page of each chapter. A book chapter start tells a chapter to begin its page
numbering after the last page of the previous chapter. To override a book chapter start
and create a section, open the chapter and choose Page > Section. Check Section
Start; this unchecks Book Chapter Start. When you add pages to a chapter, reorder
chapters, or remove chapters, subsequent pages and chapters will be numbered
according to this section start.
For output chapter pages to accurately reflect the page numbering of the book, page
numbers should be placed using the Current Page Number character.
Any user who opens a book can add, reorder, and delete chapters. The user can also
add sections to chapters to override the sequential page numbering or synchronize
chapters. You may want to assign these tasks to one user (such as the editor) and ask
other users to simply open and close chapters through the palette.
If you open a chapter outside of its associated QuarkXPress book (meaning that you
didn't use the Book palette to open it), the page numbers may temporarily change. If
the chapter contains book chapter starts, which automatically update page numbers
across chapters, then the chapter will begin on page number 1 while you are editing
outside the book. When you reopen the chapter using the Book palette, the page
numbers will automatically update. If the chapter contains regular section starts, then
the page numbers will not be affected when editing outside the book.
Synchronizing chapters
To ensure that all the style sheets, colors, hyphenation and justification specifications,
lists, and dashes and stripes used in book chapters are the same, you can synchronize
these specifications to match those in a master chapter. By default, the first chapter
in the book is the master chapter, but you can change the master chapter at any time.
When you synchronize chapters, all the specifications in each chapter are compared
to the master chapter and modified as necessary. After you synchronize chapters, each
chapter in the book will have the same style sheets, colors, hyphenation and
justification specifications, lists, and dashes and stripes as the master chapter.
