Removing chapters from books
You can remove a chapter from a book at any time. Click the chapter name to select
it; then click the Remove Chapter button . The chapter name is removed from the
Book palette and the links to the chapter are broken. The chapter becomes a standard
QuarkXPress document.
Controlling page numbers
If your chapters have sections (Page > Section) when you add them to a book, the
sections and page numbers are maintained. For example, each chapter in a book might
be a new section. If your chapters do not have sections, QuarkXPress assigns sequential
page numbers to the chapters in a book. For example, if the first chapter in a book is
10 pages long, the second chapter starts on page 11.
You can add and remove sections to change the page numbering of a book. If a
document page has an automatic page number character on it, that page will display
the appropriate page number.
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. 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
