Hi
Thanks for this tutorial.
Can’t work out how to reduce the kerning between the top line and the “A” dropcap, to look like thie last example above.
Could you guide me, please?
Thanks
Peter

I’m on a quick learning deadline and you really helped me out. I have 4 days to covert my quark 4 file to indesign 2. I mean learn the program and use last months issue as a template of sorts. I really hated the drop cap H that I started out with and stared at trying to figure out other than making a wrap around and placing a letter inside the box. Well you get the drift. This trick was cool.
