Importing the Manuscript into Quark


I did not break my book into chapters or any kind of sections. In fact, at this point, I don’t see how I could and link the pages together—more on that later. I left it one big document—306 pages long. I did make a separate document for each page of my front matter—bastard title, title, copyright, dedication, etc. As it turned out, I couldn’t use them—more on that under Adding Pages.

When I created my new Quark document I clicked the automatic text box and the facing pages text box on the New Document dialogue box. I figured I would then link my front (and back) matter mages to either end of those 306 pages. To uncover the flaw in that plan, look under Adding Pages.
