Chapter openings

A chapter opens on a new page, lower than the text around it. The Chapter openings group in the design panel sets where the chapter begins, the space above its title, and the drop cap.

The Chapter openings group in the design panel.

Begins on takes one of three values. Next page is the default. Right page leaves a blank page when a chapter falls on a left page. Same page runs the chapter on below the one before it.

Each control that you change writes one key to the frontmatter of the book note.
