Reflow view presents content somewhat like a word processor does. There is only one font,
and only a few formatting options. Each reflow article is broken down into components,
each of which corresponds to a story or picture in the layout. You can change the order
of components within a reflow article to make it match the desired reading order.
There are two ways to create a reflow article:
• By choosing eBook (ePub, Kindle) from the Layout Type drop-down menu when you
create a new project.
• By copying content from a Print layout.
If, when you create a new project, you choose eBook (ePub, Kindle) from the Layout
Type drop-down menu, QuarkXPress creates a project with a single Print layout with a
full-page picture box and a single reflow article with a default text component. You should
use the first page of the Print layout to create the cover for the ePub or Kindle eBook, and
use the reflow article to create its content. (Any pages you add after page 1 of the Print
layout are not used when you export the layout as an ePub eBook.)
If you choose to create a reflow article from a Print layout, the process is shown in the
following diagrams:
Step 1: Create the layout.
Step 2: Identify chapters or sections, and identify what parts of the layout you don't want to
include in text reflow view at all.
