      I’m working back in the dark ages of CS4 and I’m having an issue with drop caps and my workflow in the office. I have a drop-cap applied to the first paragraph via the Paragraph Style and I have apply next style active. When editors go into the text box and add a new paragraph, mid way through the existing first paragraph, the newly created paragraph had the drop cap applied. How do I get InDesign to deactivate the drop cap command after the first word or first sentence so this will not happen.

      The way the “next style” works is that if you are typing a document. When it sees the hard return, it knows the next style apples.

      In your case, adding a hard return in the middle (or anywhere) in that paragraph will just keep the same style sheet applied.

      The only thing I can think of is to have your editors apply the correct style sheet to the new paragraph they created.

      Again–the “next style” doesn’t work in an instance like yours.
