HOW TO USE ADOBE PAGEMAKER 7.0: Creating a Book Publication

PageMaker uses large amount of your computer's memory when it is running, which can slow down or even crash your computer. To avoid these problems, split PageMaker documents longer than ten pages into two or more smaller documents. PageMaker's Book Publication feature will join the smaller documents together.

Tip: Save all of the PageMaker files for your book in the same directory folder.

In this example, the book publication is created with files named chapter1.p65, chapter2.p65, chapter3.p65, and chapter4.p65 that are saved in a folder named BOOK on the Windows Desktop.

1. Make sure at least one of the files for your book is open (e.g.chapter4.p65).

2. Go to the main menu.

3. Click Utilities.

4. Click Book . . .

5. The Book Publication List window will open.

6. Under "Files/Directories", all of the PageMaker files in the BOOK directory folder will be listed.

7. Click chapter1.p56.

8. Click the Insert button. . . .

9. Chapter1.p56 will now appear in the Book List box.

10. The files are listed in the order they will appear in the book. There are two ways to move chapter1.p65 before chapter4.p65.

1. Move Chapter 1 up.
   1. Click on chapter1.p65 in the Book List box.
   2. Click the Move Up button.

2. Move Chapter 4 down.
   1. Click on chapter4.p65 in the Book List box.
   2. Click the Move Down button.

11. Auto Renumbering click:
    • To number each page in the book consecutively, click Next page .
    • To start at each file in the book publication at page 1, click None.
    • If you want to number only pages on the right side of the book (odd-numbered pages), click Next odd page.
    • if you want to number only pages on the left side of the book (even-numbered pages), click Next even page.

12. Click the OK button.

13. If you clicked Next Page, Next Odd Page, or Next Even Page, a window will appear that says, "Auto renumbering is selected. Do you wish to update the page numbers of all the publications in the book list now?" Click the Yes button.
