Layout and design
Last updated 6/6/2015
Any master page items that are overridden on document pages after you synchronize masters for the first time are
detached from the master. Therefore, if you plan on synchronizing master pages in your book, it’s a good idea to
synchronize all the documents in your book at the start of the design process. That way, overridden master page items
will maintain their connection to the master page and will continue to be updated from modified master page items in
the style source.
It’s also a good idea to synchronize master pages using only one style source. If you synchronize from a different style
source, overridden master page items may become detached from the master page. If you need to synchronize using a
different style source, deselect the Master Pages option in the Synchronize Options dialog box before doing so.
Convert book files from previous InDesign versions
You can convert a book file created in a previous version of InDesign by opening and saving it in InDesign CS5. When
you synchronize, update numbering, print, package, or export a converted book, the documents it contains are also
converted to InDesign CS5 format. You can decide whether you want to overwrite or keep the original document files.
Convert a book file for use with InDesign CS5
1 In InDesign CS5, choose File > Open.
2 Select the book file created in a previous version of InDesign and click OK.
A warning appears if the book file contains documents saved in a previous InDesign format.
3 Choose Save Book As from the Book panel menu. Specify a new name for the converted book file, and click Save.
Convert documents in a book file
1 Open the book file in InDesign CS5.
2 In the Book panel menu:
• If you want the original documents to be overwritten during conversion, select Automatic Document
Conversion.
• If you want to keep the original documents and save the converted documents with new names, deselect
Automatic Document Conversion. (The book list will be updated to include the converted files, not the
originals.)
3 Do any of the following to convert the documents:
• Choose Synchronize Book from the Book panel menu. (See Synchronize book documents .)
• Choose Update Numbering > Update All Numbers from the Book panel menu.
4 If Automatic Document Conversion is not selected, InDesign prompts you to save each converted document with a
new name.
Note: Documents are also converted when you print or export the book to Adobe PDF.
Number pages, chapters, and paragraphs in a book
You can determine how pages, chapters, and paragraphs are numbered in a book. In a book file, the numbering styles
and starting numbers for pages and chapters are determined by each document’s settings in the Numbering & Section
Options dialog box or the Document Numbering Options dialog box. You can open one of these dialog boxes by
choosing Layout > Numbering & Section Options in the document or by choosing Document Numbering Options in
the Book panel menu.
