DOCUMENT CONSTRUCTION
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:
Choose File > New > Book.
1.
Use the controls in the dialog box to specify a location for the new book file. 2.
Enter a name for the book in the Book Name/File name field. 3.
Click Create. The new book displays as a window in front of all open 4.
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.
Adding chapters to books
To add chapters to an open book:
Click the Add Chapter button in the Book palette.
