Working with books
Multiple-document publications can be challenging to manage. Page numbers
need to be consecutive, colors and style sheets to be synchronized. Books help
you meet this challenge.
Books are QuarkXPress files that display as windows containing links to
individual layouts from single or multiple projects, called chapters. Once
chapters are added to a book, you can open, close, and track chapters through
the Book palette. QuarkXPress lets you synchronize style sheets and other
specifications used in the chapters of a book, print chapters from the Book
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:
