Drop Caps made easy with Paragraph Styles…
You can embed a Drop Cap within a paragraph style easily. When you create a new paragraph style go down to the “Drop Caps and Nested Styles” tab. From the Drop Caps section, simply enter how many lines you would like the Drop Cap to cover, and also how many characters should be included as a Drop Cap.
You can also choose to apply a character style to your drop caps. If you haven’t yet created one, you can create it directly from the Character Style drop down menu, choose “New Character Style…”.

IS there a way for you to create a drop cap and adjust kerning to the right side?

Thanks for that movie clip.^^
But.. I have a quick question.
For example..
There are three paragraphs in one box and then if I want to apply the drop cap only the first paragraph, is that possible?
Have a good day.^^

I have a very similar query to Ohil Kwon’s as well. I have a Word document which I import and am applying a paragraph style to but want to apply a drop cap to just the initial paragraph but not the remaining paragraphs in the document. Is it possible over a multi-page Word document?
