Use the controls in the dialog box to locate the first print layout to add to the 2
book. The dialog box presents the layouts available in the project to select
from. You can select a single layout or multiple layouts to be added to the
book. (By default all layouts in a project are selected to be added to the
book.) Each layout is treated as a separate chapter. When you add the first
chapter to a book, it becomes the master chapter by default. The master
chapter defines the style sheets, colors, hyphenation and justification
specifications, lists, and dashes and stripes that will be used throughout the
book. These attributes are specific to the master chapter: nonmaster
chapters have attributes independent of those in the master chapter.
QuarkXPress only supports adding Print layouts to a book. DIgital layouts are
not supported.
Select the project and the print layouts in the list and click Add. 3
When legacy projects are added without saving them in the current QuarkXPress
version, a new file with a suffix of _001 (_002, etc) is created and the newly saved
project is added to the book. The legacy project remains untouched.
Repeat steps 1–3 to add additional chapters to the book. 4
As you add chapters, they are listed in the Book palette. If a chapter is selected
in the Book palette when you click the Add Chapter button , the next chapter
is added immediately after that chapter. If no chapter is selected, the next
chapter is added to the end of the list.
A chapter can belong to only one book. If you also want to use a chapter in
another book, use the Save a Copy As/Downsave command (File menu) to
create a copy of the document. Add the copy of the document to the other book.
Placing a chapter in another book may change the book’s page numbering.
Chapter status
Once you have chapters in a book, you and other users can begin to open, close,
and track chapters using the Book palette. The Status column in the Book
palette shows the current state of each chapter:
Available indicates that you can open the chapter. ●
Open indicates that you already have the chapter open on your computer. ●
Modified indicates that the chapter has been opened and edited ●
independently of the book. To update the status to Available, reopen the
chapter through the Book palette, and then close the chapter.
Missing indicates that the chapter’s file has been moved since it was added ●
to the book. Double-click the chapter name to display a dialog box; then
locate the file.
