= 3.1. Making a New Book =

There are several ways to make a new Sophie book. You can go to the '''File''' menu and choose '''New Book''', or you can press '''command/control-N'''. Both of these options will present you with a dialogue box asking for the size of the book you want. At the top of this window is a drop-down menu with some predefined sizes; if you don’t like any of those sizes, you can enter any width and height you like in the fields below.

Sophie books can be as big as you like; however, if the book is larger than the Sophie window, it will have scroll bars and you won’t be able to see all of it at once. 

Another way to create a new Sophie book is to drag a frame or a resource to the workspace. A new book will be created containing just that frame or resource. You can drag resources either from the resource palettes of an existing book or from your computer directly into Sophie.
