Creating a book file
A book file is a collection of documents that can share styles and swatches. You can
sequentially number pages in booked documents, print selected documents in a book, or
export them to PDF. One document can belong to multiple book files.
One of the documents added to a book file is the style source. By default, the style source is
the first document in the book, but you can select a new style source at any time. When
you synchronize documents in a book, the specified styles and swatches from the style
source replace those in other booked documents.
To create a book file:
1 Choose File > New > Book.
2 Type a name for the book, specify a location, and click Save. The Book palette appears.
In Windows, the book file is saved with an .indb extension.
To add documents to a book file:
1 Choose Add Document in the Book palette menu, or click the plus button
bottom of the Book palette.
2 Select the InDesign document or documents you want to add. If you include InDesign
1.5 or earlier documents, they will be converted to 2.0 format when added to the book.
You must convert PageMaker or QuarkXPress documents before adding them to the
book file.
3 Click Open.
4 If necessary, change the order of the documents by dragging them up or down to the
appropriate locations.
5 To designate a document as the style source, select the box next to the document; see
"Specifying a style source document" on page
You can drag and drop files onto the Book palette from an Explorer (Windows) or
Finder (Mac OS) window. You can also drag a document from one book to another.
Hold down Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) to copy the document.
To open a document in the Book palette:
In the Book palette, double-click the document.
To remove documents from a book file:
1 In the Book palette, select the document or documents you want to remove.
