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 CS3.
When you synchronize, update numbering, print, package, or export a converted book, the documents it contains
are also converted to InDesign CS3 format. You can decide whether you want to overwrite or keep the original
document files.
Convert a book file for use with InDesign CS3
1 In InDesign CS3, 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 CS3.
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” on page 275.)
• 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 package the book, 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. For numbered paragraphs (such as lists of figures), this is determined by the numbered
list style definition contained by the paragraph style.
The page range appears beside each document name in the Book panel. By default, InDesign updates page and
section numbering in the Book panel when you add or remove pages in booked documents, or when you make
changes to the book file, such as reordering, adding, or removing documents. You can turn off the setting to automat-
ically update page and section numbers and update numbering in a book manually.
If a document is missing or cannot be opened, the page range is shown as “?” from the place where the missing
document should be to the end of the book, indicating that the true page range is unknown. Remove or replace the
missing document before you update numbering. If the In Use icon
appears, someone using a different computer
has opened the document; the person must close the document before you can update numbering.
