Learning Objective
I can create a multi-page document in Adobe InDesign using master pages and styles.
- 1
Margins are the spaces around the page that provide breathing room for the body copy, while the gutter is the space between two pages in a two-page spread, which accommodates the book’s binding.
- 2
The bleed is a work area that will be trimmed off, allowing images to go right up against the edge of the page, and leading refers to the line spacing, which should be balanced for comfortable reading.

Master pages serve as format templates or a set of rules to apply to active pages, and an InDesign book allows each chapter to be its own file, making navigation, organization, and editing easier.
