Drop Caps

Drop caps work identically in InDesign and XPress, though here you set them in the Paragraph Attributes palette. The palette contains two drop cap fields: Number of Lines and Number of Characters. While a drop cap usually consists of a single character, you can also create a multi-character drop cap for special effects (see Figure 45-3).

By the way, the old XPress tip for adjusting the space between a drop cap and the text which follows also works in InDesign: Adjust the kerning between the drop cap and the next character.
