palette, and automatically update page numbers across chapters. You can also
export to multiple PDFs (per chapter) or export all chapters to a single PDF from
the Book palette.
You can open only one book at a time. While QuarkXPress is running, it
remembers recent opened books so that you can switch to/open another book
from the palette history. Books can be opened by more than one user at the
same time, so members of a workgroup can access different chapters. Books
stay open until you close them or until you quit QuarkXPress. Changes made to
books are saved when you close the Book palette or quit QuarkXPress.
Changes to books (such as adding or reordering chapters) are saved
automatically when you close books, or when you quit QuarkXPress. When you
open and edit 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.
