The BOOK file is the main file type associated with BookSmart. When you save a book project, the program creates the BOOK file to store the contents. You can choose books with different page layouts, such as wedding album, cookbook, guestbook, notebook, and yearbook. You can also choose from different themes that include photo borders and page backgrounds with coordinating colors. If you want to back up or share your BOOK file you can export the project as a .BOOKEXPORT file.

To create a BOOK file, select File → New → Book Project. You can save a BOOK file by selecting File → Save. Once you save the BOOK file, BookSmart will automatically save the file and any edits you make going forward.

Book file created by FrameMaker, a program used to generate books and other large documents; stores references to FrameMaker documents (.FM and .MIF files), which can contain chapters, appendixes, table of contents, and other books; enables users to compile a book from smaller document subparts.

NOTE: When you rename files referenced in a BOOK file, FrameMaker also renames the referenced files on disk. This is because FrameMaker books contain links to the actual FrameMaker documents on the computer's hard drive.
