Why rebuild a chapter? 
The chapter stores information about frames, counters, footnotes, endnotes, pages, auto
numbering, and typography settings. By rebuilding the chapter all of these settings will be
recreated. Most often this would be desirable to eliminate frames that have become unpredictable
through file corruption.

Although chapters in Corel VENTURA™ 7 can vary in structure, being familiar with the
following process will provide a basis for recreating chapters quickly.

Note: Ensure the most recent release of Corel VENTURA 7 has been installed. The latest release
is Revision C, build 1465.  To check the version installed, click Help, About Corel VENTURA. If
the revision is older than 7.1465, contact Customer Service for information about obtaining this
release.

To rebuild an existing chapter, perform the following steps:

Open the original publication.  To do this, click File, Open, and select the publication.

Start a new publication and chapter.  To do this, click File, New.  Click Default, and click OK.
Starting a new publication is optional. A chapter can be rebuilt within the same publication, but
the steps below assume a new publication has been started.  By having two publications open, the
Tile command can be used to simplify the process of rebuilding the chapter.  To start a new
chapter within the same document instead of creating a new publication, click Tools, Navigator,
Publication Manager.  Right-click the new publication, and click New Chapter.

Load the appropriate stylesheet.  To do this, open the Navigator, and click the stylesheet of the
original publication.  Drag the stylesheet to the blank page of the new chapter, or to the new
publication icon in the Navigator. Click OK to the message, "This operation cannot be undone
Proceed?"

Insert pages.  Insert the appropriate number of pages. The number of blank pages that will be
required can be determined through the following calculation. Click the base frame of the pages in
the original document to verify what objects are loaded in the base frame.
          1 for each text file loaded in the base frame
                +   1 for each page that has Unnamed File in the base frame
                +   1 for each page that has a graphic loaded in the base frame not already counted above
                    1 every new chapter already has one page

After calculating the total number of pages that should be inserted, click Page, Insert Pages.

Import the text files into the base frames.  Each inserted page will create as many pages as
required to flow the text file into that base frame. By importing these text files into the base frame
before creating any free frames, text flow is easier to manage. To import text files into the new
publication, perform the following steps:
1.  Click the base frame.
2.  Click the appropriate Master Page from the Master Page list box.
3.  Click Tools, Navigator, Publication Manager.
4.  Drag the appropriate text file from the Navigator onto the page.
5.  Repeat steps 1 through 4 for each inserted page
Tip: If the above procedure is not followed, free frames may move when the text file is loaded.
To prevent free frames from moving to the end of a document when a text file is imported into a
base frame, perform the following steps:
1.  Zoom out so that all pages that the text file will be imported into can be seen.
2.  Press SHIFT, and click the base frame of each of these pages.
3.  Import the text file.
Select an appropriate view.  Set up a view that allows you to see both documents.  To do this,
perform the following steps:
     1.   Click Tools, Options, Pasteboard/Page Gap.  Ensure the following settings are in inches,
     Top 2, Bottom 1, Left 1, Right 2.
     2.   Click View, Toolbars, and disable the Standard toolbar and Property Bar check boxes.
     3.   Click View, Tile Vertically.
     4.   Click the original publication, and click View, Zoom, Page Height, OK
     5.   Click the new publication, and click View, Zoom, Page Height, OK
Select and duplicate the frames.  The following steps should be repeated on every page that
uses free frames. This is often the most time consuming, and resource intensive procedure, so
remember to save throughout this process.
Select all frames on the page in the original document.  Use one of the following three methods.
     •    If there is only one frame on the page, click the edge of the frame.
     •    If there is a limited number of frames on the page, select multiple frames by pressing
     SHIFT, and clicking the edge of the frames.
     •    If there are many frames on the page, use the Marquee tool. When using this tool it is
     important not to select the base frame. To do this, click and hold the upper right hand
     corner to the lower left corner (see figure 1). Notice that the left edge of the base frame is
     excluded. When this has been done correctly the free frames should be temporarily
     grouped (see figure 2). 










To copy the frames to the clipboard, click Edit, Copy. Copy will be disabled if the base, header,
footer or footnote frame has been selected. Select the frames again if this has happened.
Click the page that the frames will be pasted to by clicking the base frame of the new document,
and clicking Edit, Paste.
With most chapters, after completing this process, a complete copy of the chapter has been made.
For other chapters some final adjustment may be required.
