Step 4: Export the layout as an eBook and view it in the eReader.
Creating reflow articles
Content in a reflow article is not synchronized with the content in the layout. If you
need to make any changes to text after you have created a reflow article from that
content, you will have to update the content (see "Updating content in Reflow view").
Consequently, creating a reflow article should be the last step in the process of preparing
a layout for ePub or Kindle export.
There are three ways to create reflow articles:
From a selection. This approach lets you select the specific boxes you want included in
the reflow article. This approach is best if the layout has a lot of content that's should
not be visible in Reflow view (such as headers and footers).
From pages. This approach copies everything on the pages you indicate into the reflow
article. This approach is best if all or almost all of the content in the layout should be
visible in Reflow view. (You can manually remove any content that doesn't belong in
Reflow view.)
By choosing eBook (ePub, Kindle) from the Layout Type drop-down menu in the
New Project dialog box (File menu).
Projects that were created with Quark Publishing Platform® or edited with
QuarkCopyDesk® may already have one or more articles. If you open a QuarkCopyDesk
article or a project file that includes articles with components, you must switch to
Reflow view (View > Reflow View) to add that content to a reflow article.
To show and hide the dotted lines and labels above components, click the Show/Hide
Component Headers button at the bottom of the window.
In an exported eBook, there are page breaks between every reflow article.
Creating a reflow article from a selection
To create a reflow article from one or more selected items:
1
Finalize all text you want to put in the reflow view. (You can update the contents of
a reflow view, but if you do, you will lose any additional formatting you've done in
the reflow view.)
2
Display the Reflow Tagging palette (Window menu).

There are several ways to add selected content to reflow view:
