Dropcaps in InDesign? Surely I jest. Not! (And don’t call me Shirley.) InDesign has been able to do live dropcaps for several versions now, as a matter of fact, from InDesign 1.5 all the way through the current InDesign CS. In this QuickTime tutorial excerpted from “Total InDesign,” Deke McClelland walks us through the two intuitive little controls on the Paragraph Palette (and, not shown, in the Paragraph options bar of InDesign CS). You’ll be dropcapping your way to happiness in no time!
