Video Tutorial: Drop Caps from A to Z
The two Drop Cap settings in the Control panel are just the beginning of the story. Watch this video to make your Drop Caps do all sorts of tricks!
Here’s the latest episode in our ongoing series of free tip videos on Lynda.com – you know we have an InDesign Secrets title there, don’t you? Every other week, David and I take turns presenting one free video tutorial and one only available to Lynda.com subscribers. Access all our free and subscriber-only videos at the InDesign Secrets page on Lynda.com. Each free video episode is also written up in a clever Lynda.com blog post by their “content curator” extraordinaire, Colleen Wheeler, as it’s released.
I start out this episode by saying that I want to take you from the basics of creating a drop cap to advanced tweaks and tips in 5 minutes; but you can clearly see that the video is almost eleven minutes long – I just had too many tips and tricks to share, I guess.
