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.

Books created in QuarkXPress 9 and earlier versions cannot be opened in any of
the later versions. To recreate legacy books you must add existing chapters to a
new book after saving them in the current QuarkXPress version.
Working with chapters
Books contain individual print layouts from QuarkXPress projects (called
chapters). To create chapters, you add print layouts from a single project or
multiple projects to open books. Chapters are opened through the Book palette
rather than the Open command (File menu). You can rearrange the chapters
within a book and you can remove chapters from a book. The chapters in a book
must be stored on the same volume as the book.
Adding chapters to books
To add chapters to an open book:
Click the Add Chapter button in the Book palette. 1
