Digital Publishing, QuarkXPress 9, Tip

Here’s the world’s shortest description of how to convert a book to ePub or Kindle from QuarkXPress 9:

  1. Choose Layout> Add Pages to Reflow View…
  2. Choose View> Reflow View… and tag your content.
  3. Choose File> Export> Reflow as ePub… or File> Export> Reflow as Kindle…

That’s it!

(Yes, I know: you’ll need to set some options and add cover art, but basically this is the procedure.)

You can remove step 1 if you start with a text file — just choose eBook when creating a new Project:

Then, just import your text and pictures, tag it, and export an ePub or Kindle file!

    Is there a QuarkXPress 9 book or Lynda.com class in the works?

    Teresa: thanks for asking, but no. Lynda.com inexplicably pulled the plug on our planned QuarkXPress 9 title. And I don’t know of a QuarkPress 9 book. Weird, huh?
