How do you underline a drop cap so that subsequent text wraps around it?

I've found a PDF online where the designer has used large drop caps on a number of occasions that are underlined.
Obviously this isn't technically difficult, I can add an underline in the Character panel, but the underline appears over the top of the line of text below.
In the case of the original example, not only does the line of text below appear below the underline on the drop cap, the text adjacent to the right of the drop cap is perfectly lined up with the bottom of both the drop-capped letter and the underline, as if everything is set on the baseline. How is this achieved so acurately?

This is possible in Indesign byu using the paragraph styles.
You can setup a paragraph style to add a drop cap using a charachter style ( Image 1)
and then add the underline option in the charachter style used for the dropcap and change the ofset accordingly for the underline option ( image 2)

      As said above, you can click down, ons use the other finger to drag the object.  I had turned on the setting to use three-finger drag, so you can drag objects with three fingers.  To change gesture settings, go to the system preferences>trackpad.  Here you can also see all of the gestures of Mac OS X.

    Well, it's aggravating seeing foolish limitations to the program. Having some experience in education, offering a professional program in a limited version is condescending to the user and has never been proven to help students move forward. Plus, some of the choices made to keep Logic simple are confounding... "removing the edit button on the EXS24"?  That's silly!

  • How do you approve/forward an Expense Report thats fallen into ERROR?

    How do you approve/forward an Expense Report thats fallen into Systems Administration Action status -"ERROR" (or Expense Status Code)?
    When I try logging into IE Audit manager responsibility half the buttons described in the doc:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B53825_03/current/acrobat/121oieig.pdf (Oracle® Internet Expenses Implementation and Administration Guide)
    ..are not visible?
    The approvers Cost (GL) Code is valid and the mileage expense lines have been created correctly. What else could it be?
    thanks.
    S

    Hello.
    For anybody thats interested please find below the reasons I've found so far for ER's dropping into said status..
    ERROR – Pending System Administrator Action
    If an employee cannot get their ER approved – check their Cost Code and/or that the approver named is actually an Approver. Also check the person who’s trying to Approve the ER has that particular GL Code in their Payables Signing Limits. Just add, then get ER creator to withdraw and resubmit it. Also check their actual ER lines table. Something must be up. And, of course, their expense Report via Auditor resp.

  • How do you grey out a radio button if a text field is blank in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?

    How do you grey out a radio button if a text field is blank in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro?
    So this what I'm trying to do:
    (     )   |TEXT FIELD|
    (     )   |TEXT FIELD|
    (     )   |                  |
    (     )   |TEXT FIELD|
    I have a radio button: (     )
    and a text field: |TEXT FIELD|
    The third text field is blank, and I would like for the radio button next to it greyed out (user can't click on it) since the text field is blank. Is this possible to achieve? I'm assuming I'll have to use javascript, but what would the code be and would it be entered in the javascript editor for the text field or the radio button?
    Thanks in advance guys

    Hey, thanks, but it didn't work
    I have the text fields as read only. Could that be why it's not working? Should I make the fields not read only?
    Thanks,

    How do you make a photo in DW that changes automatically in a loop and needs  no visable buttons?

    I'm sorry to be so vague. I have recently found out that what I want 
    to do is put my images in a javascript image rotator. I have looked 
    this up on google and have now tried about 6 different codes. I try to 
    follow the insert directions but I must be doing something wrong. I 
    get the first photo linked up but can never make the picture change to 
    show the other two photos in the image folder.
    Can you direct me as to how this works in dw?
    Thank you so much for helping.

  • How do you download albums to i tunes that are compilations and keep them together as a album

    how do you download albums to i tunes that are compilations and keep them together as an album i have several discs that have downloaded singley the i tunes is a mess

    Steve MacGuire aka turingtest2 - iTunes & iPod Hints & Tips - Grouping Tracks Into Albums - http://www.samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/grouping.asp (older post on Apple Discussions http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9910895)
    Quick answer:  Select all the tracks on the album, File > get info, and either give them all a single "album artist", or check the "compilation" flag (as in https://discussions.apple.com/message/17670085).
    If these are from multiple-CD sets you may also need to enter the appropriate information in the disc number fields.

  • How do you regulate the number of emails that are kept on your phone before they are deleted?

    HOW DO YOU CHANGE THE NUMBER OF EMAILS THAT ARE KEPT ON YOUR PHONE BEFORE YOU DELETE THEM?

    Your carrier sets this by time, not the number of "rings" since different ring tones take different times/ring.  The typical setting is 30 seconds, sometimes up to 40 seconds.  Contact your carrier to shorten it.

  • How do you limit the number of emails that download in ios7?

    How do you limit the number of emails that download in iOS7? In previous versions, I was able to limit (i.e. 50/100/ etc), the number that would download to my phone at any given time - other than new emails. Past/old emails would only be reloaded if I deleted newer ones or I requested more be loaded.

    Now solved:
