If you open a chapter outside of its associated QuarkXPress book (meaning that
you didn’t use the Book palette to open it), the page numbers may temporarily
change. If the chapter contains book chapter starts, which automatically update
page numbers across chapters, then the chapter will begin on page number 1
while you are editing outside the book. When you reopen the chapter using the
Book palette, the page numbers will automatically update. If the chapter
contains regular section starts, then the page numbers will not be affected when
editing outside the book.
Synchronizing chapters
To ensure that all the style sheets, colors, hyphenation and justification
specifications, lists, and dashes and stripes used in book chapters are the same,
you can synchronize these specifications to match those in a master chapter.
By default, the first chapter in the book is the master chapter, but you can
change the master chapter at any time.
When you synchronize chapters, all the specifications in each chapter are
compared to the master chapter and modified as necessary. After you
synchronize chapters, each chapter in the book will have the same style sheets,
colors, hyphenation and justification specifications, lists, and dashes and
stripes as the master chapter.
Specifying the master chapter
By default, the first chapter you add to a book is the master chapter. The master
chapter is indicated by an M to the left of the chapter name in the Book palette.
To change the master chapter, click to select the new master chapter. Then click
the blank area to the left of the chapter name; the master chapter icon M moves
to the new chapter.
Synchronizing specifications
Before you synchronize the specifications in a book, first make sure that the
style sheets, colors, hyphenation and justification specifications, lists, and
dashes and stripes in the current master chapter are defined correctly. Then:
Make sure all the chapters in the book have a status of Available. If a chapter 1
is unavailable, its specifications will not be synchronized.
Select the chapters you want to synchronize. To select a range of chapters, 2
click the first chapter and press Shift while you click the last chapter in the
range. To select nonconsecutive chapters, press Command/Ctrl while you
click the chapters.
