You’ll be gathering several InDesign documents into one Book file to create a book. If you’re just getting started on your chapters, it’s best to design one of your more complex chapters first, then use that chapter as a template for all the remaining ones (i.e., “Save As” Chapter 1, delete all the original chapter’s text, place the Chapter 1 text, and thereby leave the trim size, margins, and styles intact and consistent among all chapters).

All the parts or chapters were linked together at the end using InDesign’s Book feature. So this blog post explains how to create a Book file, or as we call it, “book” a book. It was more convenient for us to swap smaller sections back and forth than to send the entire book each time. That’s exactly what we did with Book Design Made Simple. In fact, they are so big that you thought it would be smart to divide the book into separate documents for parts or chapters.

InDesign’s Book feature can be handy! Let’s say you’re working on a book with lots of images and/or chapters.
