Key formatting features for drop caps and page numbers

Automatic chapter and pagination detection

AI scans your manuscript to identify chapters and front/back matter, then applies sequential page numbers and suppresses numbering where appropriate (e.g., front matter).

Custom drop cap styles and sizing

Choose from multiple drop-cap styles, fonts, color and size options or ask Vana in plain English to create a matching look for your genre.

Precise page number placement and style

Place page numbers in headers, footers, outer/inner positions, and choose roman/arabic numbering, offsets, and first-page suppression for a professional finish.

Trim size, fonts, and spacing controls

Set trim size, line spacing, margins and font pairs to ensure drop caps integrate with your typography and page numbers remain readable and consistent.

Human Fix option for pixel-perfect results

If you need manual tweaks—hand-tuned drop caps, running heads, or complex pagination—our designers will make corrections for a one-time fee.
