• Drop caps with a quotemark early in Pará

  If a paragraph begins with a quote, so I need the SECOND character from drop cap. How is this done using the system of the drop cap or is it not possible?

  Currently, I remove the quotation mark in another area of text and manually place.

  Other solutions?

  Thank you guys for your advice and help this sort.

  I divided the alphabet into four main groups and a paragraph style each with its own style of character for the quote. They differ in the amount of follow-up for the quote.

  The paragraph style a drop cap value: 3 lines 2 characters

  Nested style: style through 1 character of characters

  Sorted.

  Gives me a good start and just the last settings to do (thanks Bradley)

• drop cap rule

  In layouts of book, and if the first character on the new copy of body of page chapter is a quotation mark vs a letter? -I guess I apply the drop cap style/technique at a time. Visually, it seems to look pretty good. But what is the rule in this case?

  Thank you!

  There is a convention cited in different style guides which in this case

  the opening quote is omitted. Good luck for this past your

  editors. I never got to. visually, this is probably the best solution.

  Instead, I reduce the opening quote to the almost regular text size and

  then-vertical offset upward while he sits in a visually acceptable

  Spot. Some kerning may also be necessary.

  For me, this rarely works to place in the full-drop cap format. I guess what it

  might according to the police.

• Drop caps and nested Styles does not

  For reasons that escape me, it seems, the drop caps and Nested styles does not work for me. I am confident, I have followed the correct steps of there exactly: Nested styles to heavy users. Adobe InDesign tutorials CC

  Yet somehow the style preview and paragraph simply do nothing for me.

  I wonder what I'm missing.

  

  You have manually applied 1 character Style to the whole paragraph. THT is a priority.

• Matter of style re: color of the drop cap, the rest of the text in black

  Hello... I'm trying to achieve this result by using character paragraph styles / nested:

  

  Instead, that's what I mean:

  

  I have a paragraph with a nested character style style. The paragraph style specifies the point of using a drop cap with 4 lines. The nested character style tells the paragraph to the first three words in a special font and some red CMYK color. But I can't understand how to tell the style also put the drop cap in the same color. Help!

  Thank you.

  the character of the dropcap style there red color value itself?

  PARK style of paragraph for a moment, go to the style of CHARACTERS assigned to the dropcap letter and look at the options. Look at the color of the text and see if it is red or not.

  Does that help?

• Drop cap 2nd or 3rd character

  How can I make a drop cap for the 2nd or 3rd character at the beginning of a paragraph?

  First, make a new paragraph style. Then apply drop cap for the first two or three characters:

  

  Then with the first two characters selected, adjust their size and baseline shift to go back to the normal font size and position (you should probably use guides to make it as specific as possible):

  

  When you qualify, make a new Style of character using the characters selected as a model:

  

  Return to the Options of paragraph Styles dialog box, and then in "Drop caps and nested Styles" add a new nested Style that applies the new Style of character for the first two characters:

  

  Finally, you can apply your paragraph for new paragraphs style you like.

• Align the drop cap at the bottom of the paragraph

  I'm designing a model in InDesign and our chapter start may include a certain number. That is to say. "1 it's header. Sometimes the header will be 2 lines and sometimes the other.

  I want the number to be BIG and you want to, my text base line up to be a line or 2.

  The drop cap function or create a character style that makes this large number causes still my text align to the TOP of the number.

  Any ideas?

  Here's another thought.

  Use a nested style to get your large enough number, then put on your text between a larger and a smaller one for the number text box for the rest of the cuff.

  It is always a single line, but by setting both of your text boxes to align to the bottom, you can get the alignment you need.

  

• Paragraph drop cap numbers

  Is it possible to implement the paragraph for the style as a drop cap numbers?

  I have reports that they most often require the paragraph numbers. These are all configured as numbered lists, but I'd like to try something different and to display as a drop cap of 3 line.

  I tried all sorts of stuff style but can't seem to make it work. Anyone know if this is possible?

  Thank you

  Jongware, I'm sorry too, but we are wrong!

  YOU can perform automatic numbering and drop cap together! So obvious! [I am very tired right now!  ]

  

  

  

  All we need is a little regex:

  

  My apologies too!

• Drop cap in the first paragraph only...

  Hi all

  I found what looks like the solution to this, but it does not work (making it not a solution).

  in any case, I've created two paragraph styles ('First paragraph Style' and 'Paragraph Style'). "First paragraph Style" I put the drop cap, and I put "Next Style" (under 'general') 'Paragraph Style' (who has not a setting of the drop cap, or rather the settings by default ie. 0 rows, etc.).

  The catch: I apply the paragraph Style first to my text and... all paragraphs will have a drop cap, as defined in the first paragraph Style. Major sadness!

  Any ideas?

  Thank you very much!

  You must right click on the first paragraph Style and then choose apply "paragraph Style" then next Style.

  Yes, it's terrible.

  The only solution I know is copy and paste attributes.

• Drop caps

  When I use drop caps it effects all paragraphs in a story, not just the first paragraph.  I'm doing something wrong?

  Create a paragraph style and assign the paragraphs that you want.

• Drop cap problem

  When text in TextFrame is aligned to reference and updated level on the scale - drop cap becomes too high and hangs on the text. Is this a bug in InDesign or I missed something?

  Here is an example of such behavior: scale is 200%, size of the drop cap is 8 rows. I use InDesign CS5.5.

  

  Instead of using the global reference grid, add a grid custom for the linked text frames (you can add it as part of a style of object). This seems to be what you need.

• Drop cap and stray letters

  Is it possible to have the "n" move on to the more close to the drop cap without affecting the second line?

  

  There is something to do what you want.

  1. Click on your Type tool between the drop cap and the letter 'n'.
  2. Right-click and choose Insert special character > other > Non-Joiner
  3. Set the kerning value. (Where the arrow is in the screenshot below)

  

  And now you know the secret!

• How do underline you a drop cap so that the text following around her wrapping?

  I found a PDF Online where the designer has used large drop caps on a number of occasions that are highlighted.

  Obviously this is not technically difficult, I can add an underline in the character Panel, but underscore appears above the line of text below.

  In the case of the original example, not only the line of text below appears as underscore on the drop cap, the adjacent text to the right of the drop cap is perfectly aligned with the bottom of the letter drop IMP and the underscore, as if everything is settled on the baseline. How is - this made both acurately?
