Setting a Gutter for a Print Book


Recommended Posts

I'm new to using Affinity Publisher for book layout, having previously only used MS Word. How do I set the gutter for a document? To provide context, this is a novel and what I mean by the gutter is the allowance for the binding. For two pages the verso and recto pages would have mirrored gutters. In MS Word, I just set the gutter allowance. How do I do this in Publisher? I've searched for an answer but can't quite find one that makes sense for a novel or a nonfiction book.

You need to set up a two page spread as a Master Page and then you can set inner and outer margins.

Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.4 
Affinity Designer 2.4.1 | Affinity Photo 2.4.1 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.1 | Beta versions as they appear.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.
