hat you don’t feel,
you will not grasp by art,
Unless it wells out of your soul
And with sheer pleasure takes control,
Compelling every listener’s heart.
But sit – and sit, and patch and knead,
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, and then click OK:
• To apply the drop cap to a single paragraph, choose Drop Caps and Nested Styles from the Paragraph palette menu,
specify the number of drop-cap lines and characters, and then choose the character style. (See “To create a drop
cap” on page 215.)
• To nest the character style in a paragraph style, double-click the paragraph style, and then click Drop Caps and
Nested Styles. Specify the number of drop-cap lines and characters, and then choose the character style.
If you want to apply a different nested style to any characters after the drop cap, use the New Nested Style option.
Applying nested styles to a paragraph
You can specify character-level formatting for one or more ranges of text within a paragraph. You can also set up two
or more nested styles to work together, one taking over where the previous one ends.
Nested styles are especially useful for run-in headings. For example, you can apply one character style to the first
letter in a paragraph and another character style that takes effect through the first colon (:). For each nested style, you
can define a character that ends the style, such as a tab character or the end of a word.
