Drop Caps

Hi @Gabbie27072686ahzy 

As @Robert at ID-Tasker and @James Gifford—NitroPress have rightly pointed out - there's one more part of wisdom I wish to share with you.

Creating and using Styles is an important workflow step that shouldn't be overlooked.

Because you've redefined Basic Paragraph style - it's the "default" ParaStyle - you need to leave it alone and create new ParaStyle for your first paragraph - then even more styles and assign them to the rest of the text - as per formatting you want to achieve.

I'm sorry but those are basics how to use InDesign 😞 You need to read more tutorials 😞

Drop caps are part of a paragraph style. You need to define a style that uses the drop cap and one that doesn't... for instance Body Text, and then Body Text DC.

You can't apply a Paragraph Style-based aspect to only one paragraph and should not use such spot or override formatting in ID in any case.

Does that make sense?
