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.
