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.
Adding chapters to books
To add chapters to an open book:
1
Click the Add Chapter button in the Book palette.
2
Use the controls in the dialog box to locate the first print layout to add to the book.
The dialog box presents the layouts available in the project to select from. You can
select a single layout or multiple layouts to be added to the book. (By default all layouts
in a project are selected to be added to the book.) Each layout is treated as a separate
chapter. When you add the first chapter to a book, it becomes the master chapter by
default. The master chapter defines the style sheets, colors, hyphenation and
justification specifications, lists, and dashes and stripes that will be used throughout
the book. These attributes are specific to the master chapter: nonmaster chapters have
attributes independent of those in the master chapter.
QuarkXPress only supports adding Print layouts to a book. Ebook and App Studio
layouts are not supported.
3
Select the project and the print layouts in the list and click Add.
When legacy projects are added without saving them in a QuarkXPress 10 format, a
new file with a suffix of _001 (_002, etc) is created and the newly saved project is added
to the book. The legacy project remains untouched.
4
Repeat steps 1–3 to add additional chapters to the book.
As you add chapters, they are listed in the Book palette. If a chapter is selected in the
Book palette when you click the Add Chapter button , the next chapter is added
immediately after that chapter. If no chapter is selected, the next chapter is added to
the end of the list.
A chapter can belong to only one book. If you also want to use a chapter in another
book, use the Save As command (File menu) to create a copy of the document. Add
the copy of the document to the other book. Placing a chapter in another book may
change the book's page numbering.
Chapter status
Once you have chapters in a book, you and other users can begin to open, close, and
track chapters using the Book palette. The Status column in the Book palette shows
the current state of each chapter:
• Available indicates that you can open the chapter.
• Open indicates that you already have the chapter open on your computer.
