Preparing for a Bound Document

If your finished document will be bound in some fashion, but especially if you will use a form of binding such as is found in books, you must allow additional margin space for the binding process; otherwise some of your text can be in the binding fold and therefore unreadable. If you open a book, the crease between the two facing pages is referred to as the gutter. You must take care to ensure that nothing except white space is in the gutter .

Did You Know?

You can set aside a gutter for printing . The size of the gutter you should use varies greatly depending on the binding process that will be used. Check with your printer before finalizing this setting to ensure that you allow the correct amount of space.

You can use a gutter even if you are printing on both sides . Remember that, if you are using double-sided printing, the gutter will be to the left on odd-numbered pages and to the right on even-numbered pages.
