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.

Michael Murphy provides a video tutorial about creating books at Book Basics.

1 Choose File > New > Book.

2 Type a name for the book, specify a location, and then click Save.

The Book panel appears. The book file is saved with the file name extension .indb.

3 Add documents to the book file.

Add documents to a book file

When you create a book file, it opens in the Book panel. The Book panel is the working area of a book file, where you

add, remove, or rearrange documents.

1 Choose Add Document in the Book panel menu, or click the plus button at the bottom of the Book panel.

2 Select the Adobe InDesign document or documents you want to add, and then click Open.

You can drag and drop files onto the Book panel 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.

3 If you included documents created in earlier versions of InDesign, they will be converted to Adobe InDesign CS5

format when added to the book. In the Save As dialog box, specify a new name for the converted document (or leave

the name as is), and then click Save.

Note: You must convert Adobe PageMaker or QuarkXPress documents before adding them to the book file.

4 If necessary, change the order of the documents in the panel by dragging them up or down to the appropriate

locations in the list.

5 To designate a document as the style source, click the box next to the document’s name in the panel.

To open a document in a book file, double-click the document name in the Book panel.

Manage book files

Each open book file appears on its own tab in the Book panel. If multiple books are open at the same time, click a tab

to bring that book to the front and access its panel menu.

Icons in the Book panel indicate a document’s current status, such as open , missing (the document was moved,

renamed, or deleted), modified (the document was edited or its page or section numbers changed while the book

was closed), or in use (if someone else has the document open in a managed workflow). No icon appears next to

closed documents.

To view the pathname of any document in a book, hold the mouse pointer over the document name until a tooltip

appears. Or, choose Document Information from the Book panel menu.
