The first pages of a book follow their own rules. Gutter builds them for you and lets you fine-tune them.
Gutter builds the half-title page (just the title), the title page with the title, author and a fleuron, the copyright page, the dedication and the table of contents with the actual page numbers from the typeset version.
If your Word file already includes any of them, Gutter keeps yours.
The table of contents is created with a checkbox when you upload your Word file. It's checked by default, but you can uncheck it. The table of contents lists your chapters and parts with the actual page numbers.
Once your book is typeset, you can change how it looks: font, size, italics, color or alignment of the title and the entries.
Gutter sets the copyright page in your book's typeface, using the details you provide or that it reads from your Word file (author, year, ISBN…). You can change its size, font, alignment and color, and the same goes for the dedication.
The copyright page is always included in the book.
Yes. You can adjust the font, size, color and alignment of the title, the author, the half-title page and the ornament (the fleuron).
