DOCUMENT CONSTRUCTION
Opening chapters independently of books
If you need to work on a computer that is not part of the network where the book
resides (for example, if you need to edit a chapter at home), you can work on a copy
of a chapter independently of its book. When you are finished with the chapter,
copy it back to its original location on the network; it will display in the Book
palette as Modified.
To ensure that other users do not edit the original chapter while you are editing a

copy, you can place the original chapter file in another folder so its status will
display in the Book palette as Missing.
Reordering chapters in books
You can reorder chapters in a book at any time, regardless of their status. When you
reorder chapters, automatic page numbers are updated. Click the chapter name to
select it; then click a Move Chapter button in the Book palette. The selected
chapter will move up or down one row.
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.
