To set up drop caps:
- From the Paragraph panel's Drop Caps section:
- Enabled—tick this checkbox to enable drop caps.
- Height in lines—specify the height of the dropped capital in lines.

- Auto—when ticked, overrides the Character setting and defaults to dropping a single character as well as any preceding alphanumeric characters (such as quotation marks).
- Distance to text—specify how close the dropped capital and the rest of the text should be. This value can be negative to allow the text to be closer to the dropped capital.
