=== Step 1: Enable the "{{int:coll-book_creator}}" tool ===

[[File:Create_a_book_portlet.png|150px|thumb|Fig.1 – The "print/export" box]]

The "{{int:coll-book_creator}}" tool can be enabled from the "{{int:coll-print_export}}" box on the left hand side of the browser screen towards the bottom (see Fig.1). Click on "{{int:coll-create_a_book}}". The "{{int:coll-book_creator}}" tool will appear at the top of your screen.

=== Step 2: Gather articles ===

====Individual pages====

By clicking on the "{{int:coll-add_this_page}}" link, the current page being viewed is added to the collection. To add another article, simply go to that article, and click on "{{int:coll-add_this_page}}" again.

Another way to add articles to your book is to hover your mouse over a link to another article. After one second, a message will pop up, giving you the option to add the linked article to your book.

|}

====Categories====

If you go on a category page, the "{{int:coll-add_this_page}}" will have changed into "{{int:coll-add_category}}". Clicking on "{{int:coll-add_category}}" will add all the articles in that category.

Likewise, if you hover on a category link (located at the very bottom of articles), a message will pop-up, giving you the option to add the entire category to your book.

After you have selected the articles that interest you, you can click on "{{int:coll-make_suggestions}}" and you will be presented with a list of articles that are related to your selection. This helps you to create a more complete book if you run out of ideas, or just want to make sure that you haven't forgotten anything.

===Step 3: Review your book===

Once you are happy with your book, click on "{{int:coll-show_collection}}" to be taken to the next step.

After you have clicked on the "{{int:coll-show_collection}}" link, you can add a title and a subtitle to your book (see Fig.2). You can also arrange articles and order them according to your taste with clicks and drags (details in the [[#Advanced functions|Advanced functions]] section below).

=== Step 4: Download or order a printed copy of your book ===

[[File:Download_on_special_book.png|150px|thumb|Fig.3 – Click to download]]

The finished book can be downloaded or ordered as a bound book. You can download the book, in PDF and OpenDocument format (viewable using OpenOffice.org software), by clicking the "{{int:coll-download}}" button (see Fig 3). To order the book as a bound book click the "Order book from PediaPress" button.
