Chapter 6: Styles
Drop caps and nested styles
There are three main ways to use Drop Caps and Nested Styles feature: to apply a character style to a drop cap, to apply
a nested style to text at the beginning of a paragraph, and to apply a nested line style to one or more lines in a paragraph.
Apply a character style to a drop cap
You can apply a character style to the drop-cap character or characters in a paragraph. For example, if you want a drop-
cap character to have a different color and font than the rest of the paragraph, you can define a character style that has
these attributes. Then you can either apply the character style directly to a paragraph, or you can nest the character style
in a paragraph style.
Note: You cannot create new styles in InCopy content linked to an InDesign layout.
Drop cap formatted automatically by nested character style
1 Create a character style that has the formatting you want to use for the drop-cap character.
2 Do one of the following:
• To apply the drop cap to a single paragraph, choose Drop Caps And Nested Styles from the Paragraph panel
menu.
• To nest the character style in a paragraph style, double-click the paragraph style, and then click Drop Caps And
Nested Styles.
3 Specify the number of drop-cap lines and characters, and then choose the character style.
4 If the drop cap is aligned too far away from the left edge, select Align Left Edge.
Selecting this option uses the original left side bearing of the drop-cap character rather than the larger value. It’s
particularly useful for drop caps formatted in sans serif fonts.
5 If the drop cap character overlaps the text below it, select Scale For Descenders.
6 To control how text that wraps around the drop cap is adjusted relative to the frame grid, choose an option from the
menu.
Ignore Frame Grid The drop cap and text are not adjusted, so text may not align to the frame’s grid.
Pad To Frame Grid The drop cap is not scaled and the text is aligned to the grid, so there may be extra white space
between the drop cap and text that wraps around it.
