Adding chapters to books
- Click the Add Chapter button
in the Book palette. - 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.
- 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.
- Repeat steps 1–3 to add additional chapters to the book.
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 As 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.
