Pad To Frame Grid

The drop cap is not scaled and the text is aligned to the grid, so there may be extra white space

between the drop cap and text that wraps around it.

Scale Up To Grid

This option scales the drop cap to be wider for horizontal text or taller for vertical text so that the

text aligns with the grid.

Scale Down To Grid

This option scales the drop cap to be narrower for horizontal text for shorter for vertical text so

that the text aligns with the grid.

Click OK.

If you want to apply a different nested style to any characters after the drop cap, use the New Nested Style option. (See

Create nested styles

.)

Create nested styles

You can specify character-level formatting for one or more ranges of text within a paragraph or line. You can also set
up two or more nested styles to work together, one taking over where the previous one ends. For paragraphs with
repetitive and predictable formatting, you can even loop back to the first style in the sequence.

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.

Note: You can create new styles in a stand-alone InCopy document, but not in content linked to an InDesign layout.
