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. Click anywhere in the
Book palette to force it to update.
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:
1
Choose File > New > Book.
2
Use the controls in the dialog box to specify a location for the new book file.
3
Enter a name for the book in the Book Name/File name field.
4
Click Create. The new book displays as a window in front of all open documents.
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.
Working with chapters
Books contain individual QuarkXPress documents (called chapters). To create chapters,
you add documents 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
You can add up to 1,000 chapters to a book. To add chapters to an open book:
1
Click the Add Chapter button in the Book palette.
2
Use the controls in the dialog box to locate the first document to add to the book. 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.
3
Select the document in the list and click Add. If the document was created in an earlier
version of QuarkXPress, an alert states that adding the document will update it to the
current format; if you click OK, the document is updated and resaved as a QuarkXPress
book chapter.
