Part 3: Using Pages and Preview Mode

For this book, we're going to make a book with multiple pages. This is a simple book; it's going to have five pages, and each page will have an image on it. When the book is opened in preview mode, clicking on each image should go to the next page. It's not complicated, but these pieces can be put together to make more complicated books.

Start by opening Sophie and making a new book (by choosing File > New Book or by pressing control-n.)

Next we're going to set up the page size and the book title. Right now, Sophie automatically imports images as 280 pixels wide by 210 pixels high with the upper left corner 75 pixels from the top and left side of the book; this will change, but so we don't need to resize and move every image, we're going to set the page size so that an image is automatically centered on it and we don't need to move things. To set the book size, choose Edit > Set Page Dimensions:

Set the width of the page to 430, click OK, and set the height of the book to 360, then click OK again.

Now we don't want the book to be called "New Book B", so let's set the book's title. Chose Edit > Set Book Title:

Change the book title to "Five Page Book" or whatever you'd like the book to be called. You might at this point like to save your book; to do this, choose File > Save As, and choose a location and a filename for your book.

Next, let's get our images. We're going to use five images; you can download them ​here, ​here, ​here, ​here, and ​here, or, if you'd like, you can download a ZIP of all five images ​here. The images all look like this:

Nothing fancy; each just says that it's a specific page. Download all the images to your desktop or some convenient folder.

(You can download the images from ​here or the complete book ​here. Both of these are .zip files; unzip them.
