Reverse Drop Cap- what's it called

InDesign has handy feature for drop caps. But what's it called when the first letter towers above the first line rather than drop to cover 2 or lines? Does InDesign have a function for that in the Paragraph files too?

"Upcap"? (I never heard it named before.)
You can use a nested style for that, spanning just one character. I've seen the entire first word in upcaps as well.
(Afterthougt: although you can use the regular point size to change it, it might work better -- i.e., not messing with line heights -- if you use the Horizontal and Vertical size to make it larger.)

  • How do I put shortcuts to web sites in a (?) tool bar/browser bar...don't know what it is called. With IE, I can just drag the tab for the site to the area I want.

    How do I put shortcuts to web sites in a (?) tool bar/browser bar...don't know what it is called. With IE, I can just drag the tab for the site to the area I want

    Near the right-end of the address bar is a white star which can be difficult to see, but look closely. When you wish to bookmark a shortcut to the toolbar, double click the star. A window will open with the name of the webpage. Under that is the folder box which will probably read 'Unsorted Bookmarks'. Click the drop down arrow and change it to 'Bookmarks Toolbar' then click done.
    I have several folders on my toolbar such as Music, Mail, etc. in which I add multiple websites. If you wish to add a folder, click the second drop down arrow next to 'Bookmark Toolbar' and click 'New Folder' and give it a name.
    To add a bookmark to a folder, again double click the star, make sure you are in Bookmark Toolbar and click one of the two drop down arrows to find the name of the folder.
    For other bookmarks use Bookmark Menu. Whatever is added here can be accessed by Bookmarks on the Menu Bar. If your Menu Bar with Bookmark, File, View, etc. is not visible, click the Alt key and they will become visible. To keep the Menu Bar, click View, Toolbars and check Menu Bar.

  • My new ipod classic does not work anymore! The music stopped and the display is dead. What now, besides calling support?

    My new ipod classic does not work anymore! The music stopped and the display is dead. What now, besides calling support? Useless to say my PC didn't recognize the Ipod anymore either.

    Anton, I wish I could help. I had an old iPod Classic (60 KB) as a gift but it went dead, I dropped it a few times accidentally, and it sat carefully saved until I had sufficient resources, energy and time to get the matter addressed. In my case, I actually took the thing (after making sure it was charged) to an Apple store and one of the geniuses at the genius bar at the back of the store took it and did a few things (unseen and un-noted) with his fingers and handed it to me with a sly smile. Voila, the thing was functional. I got a re-functionalized iTunes account and store access when I bought my iMac. I did lose a few tunes along the way because it didn't recognize my new iMac as the source (my old dead PC laptop), but I have a more functional memory than the iPod and recovered them all in other ways. The whole thing is humming better than ever. At over 11 gb full, I have 4.2 days worth of portable listening. Be patient; it took me four years to get musical nirvana in a pocket, but you'll get there faster. Call support.

  • I used to have an add-on that made the reload icon to the right of the address bar turn red when the page was downloading . What is it called?

    It has disappeared after I had to do a restore.
    I can't remember what the add-on is called. I am using FireFox 22 on a Win8 64 bit system.
    Can anyone tell me what it is called so I can get it back?

    After using the Firefox Reset feature, a folder named Old Firefox Data should appear on your desktop. This folder should contain all your old extensions. However, there is a gotcha: many of them are filed under alphanumeric identifiers rather than readable names. Still, it's worth a quick look.
    Actually, here's a thought: if you drag a .xpi file from the Old Firefox Data\extensions folder and drop it on an open Firefox tab, you should get the install dialog which, presumably, will tell you the extension's name. In theory you could try one after another until you find the one you want. Please note that installing an extension from disk rather than the Add-ons site may make it impossible for Firefox to find updates, so it would be better to figure out the name and get it from the source if you can.
    Any luck?

  • Drop cap for FIRST paragraph only

    I know how to create a drop cap for a paragraph manually. But I will be filling a textbox from XML, which may contain one or more paragraphs. If I assign a drop cap as part of the paragraph style, every paragraph gets a drop cap, when I only want it on the FIRST paragraph. It seemed liked Nested Styles offered some promise, but that appears to only work with character styles, and drop cap is available only as a paragraph style.
    Is there any solution to this, short of scripting? And if scripting is required, does anyone have any pertinent examples of applying paragraph styles with scripting? I'm a seasoned pro with VB, but I haven't tried VBScript in InDesign yet, and not even sure what the object model looks like.
    Thanks!

    Please forgive my ignorance, but is "next style" some kind of intrinsic functionality (as suggested by the quotes)? If there is some kind of functionality that says apply a variant of style to the first paragraph, and the original (based on) style to the rest, that's what I'm looking for.
    I did arrive at a work-around, using the original style and basing a new style on it (thanks for the tip, I didn't think about that), but it's less elegant than I'd like. What I did is, instead of assigning an XML tag to the entire textbox, I selected the first paragraph and assigned a tag to it; then I selected the remaining paragraph(s) and assigned a different tag. I mapped styles to each tag, with the first having the drop cap. So far, it seems to work--though I've found that with ID and XML, it's best to keep things as simple as possible. ID's implementation of XML can be a little squirrely. This also adds the burden of having the software which generates the XML, determine when the first paragraph ends and the second begins.
    If anyone else out there tries this, please note: ID adds as "Story" tag to the structure. You'll need to add this tag to your XML as well (and remember, tag names are case sensitive).

  • Drop cap in first paragraph only...

    Hi All,
    I've found what looks like the solution to this, but it doesn't work (thereby rendering it a non-solution).
    Anyways, I have created two paragraph styles ("First Paragraph Style" and "Following Paragraph Style"). In "First Paragraph Style" I have set the Drop Cap, and I have set "Next Style" (under "General") to "Following Paragraph Style" (which does not have a Drop Cap setting, or rather the default settings ie. 0 lines, etc.).
    The rub: I apply First Paragraph Style to my text and... all the paragraphs have a drop cap as defined in First Paragraph Style. Major sadness!
    Any ideas?
    Thanks a lot!
    - steve

    Next style only works automatically when you are typing and hit enter. For placed or pasted text, or previousluy entered text, follow Fred's instuctions.

    There are many ways and applications that you can use to build a web site. Which will be best for you will depend on the site you want to build and your level of expertise. Many experienced web developers just use a text editor, often one with specialized features for web programming (BBEdit, for example), but there are programs that can offer additional help, up to and including "drag and drop". Without knowing more about your needs, it's difficult to offer specific advice, but here are some possibilities:
    iWeb - came with your Mac. Easy to build but rather limiting in what you can do.
    RapidWeaver - more flexible and capable than iWeb but harder to use; sort of an "inbetweener" application
    Dreamweaver - powerful but expensive and a steep learning curve
    There are of course a number of other options. If you can provide more detail about what you wish to build and your level of experience, someone can probably make more targeted recommendations.
    Regards.

  • Drop Cap Button + Gradient Feather Tool like indd

    A drop cap button similar to the indesign in the paragraph menu. Usually I delete the first letter and use a text wrap around an individual character - this is messy as it doesn't follow the rules of the baseline if I start moving things around, and if I change my mind I need to remember to retype the first character again.
    Also I wish there was a gradient feather tool in illustrator to bypass making transparent gradient masks in the appearance panel - half the time I copy the image into indesign - apply the feather - and paste it back into
    illustrator in less time it would take to create the same effect in illustrator.
    Thanks for listening,

    Contact Sheet is a welcome return. So many features can be adapted. I made this a few years ago by sizing up 40 images, and turning off titles, and ‘Flatten Layers’ when making the contact sheet. It was then fairly simple to FT each layer to give some overlap, and use Layer masks for creative affect.
    It was eventually incorperated into a poster for the organisation running the event.
    Some interesting JDIs  (thanks so much for the typed list!).
    The Eye dropper changes appeal to me, and Ctrl J now working on Groups is very welcome.  Lots more there, but what worries me is that there are apparently twice as many new JDIs in CS6 as there were in CS5, which makes me think I must be missing a lot of the CS5 JDIs.  is there a list somewhere?

  • Style sheeps and the drop caps

    Here it is :
    I would like to be able to create a style sheet that enables me to have the first letter in my text bloc to be a a drop cap of a different font, size, kerning and colour than the rest of the text in the bloc (see pic hereunder). What I don't want is for this to be applied to anything other than the first letter in the bloc, irrrespective of how many paragraphs there are in the bloc. In other words I do not want this style to be applied to the first letter of each successive paragraph in my bloc.
    Simple question, but I'll be damned if I can do it.
    Any light shed would be most helpful.

    You have to create a specific paragraph style with a drop cap and another for the rest of your text.
    You can based the first one (with the drop cap) on the second. So if you make any changes in the second they will also affect the first pargarph style. So no big deal.
    Also use caracter style for your drop cap.
    You can use also the feature "next style": in the paragraph style with the drop cap choose the name of the second in the "next style" pop-up.
    If you select all your text and make a right-click you can choose to "apply this paragraph style and next". In one click you will format all your text…

  • Is there a way to create drop caps in iBooks Author?

    Is there a way to create initial drop caps in iBooks Author?

    Great, drop caps work, thanks.
    I wanted to kern them back (I can't help myself) and I found that if I put a space after the box and then kerned the space back, it worked visually. Do you think that will cause issues down the road? It previewed ok.
    Also if I make the boxes too tight, again to make it more typographically pleasing, may I have issues later if people increase or decrease the font size?
    I don't have an iPad yet so I can't check it that way. If something previews, will it run?
    thanks

    All you need is a plug adaptor, if required. Apple sells an adapter kit:

  • I'd like to toggle between the source and timeline and bypass the program tab - what is this called in the shortcut tab?

    When editing, I have to press my shortcut twice to get back to the source window as it goes via the program monitor first. Is there an assignable shortcut just between the timeline and source? If so, what is it called?

    If so many people have the same question and concern about this, why is it consistently ignored?  I've seen countless posts like this that are told to ignore the logs or to only dump when asked to. How can those of us that have these questions get an answer?  Can I im someone who can help me or are they being ignored because it it evidence that our devices have been jailbroken without our knowledge?
    If you can point me in the direction of someone who is willing to help I would greatly appreciate it!
    Thanks in advance!

  • I had something that help me find the last pages and recentpages I visited but I had to reinstall fox fire and it's gone how do i get it back and what was it call

    I open a new tab and recent pages, last pages and most visited pages, would be displayed but I had to uninstall fox fire then reinstall and now it gone. How do I get that back? What was it call.

    You have probably simply opened a blank Layout template which has no default text area. In Layout documents you need to add textboxes to the page.
    Just start over from the Tempalet Chooser and pick a Word Processing document (see the sidebar titles) or a template with actual content in it already.

  • What is it called when you do this?

    What is it called when you have something similar to a blog where you have your code say, let there be 5 posts, and after 5 posts create a new page to put the other posts on that page so there is only 5 per page?
    I'm not really sure how to search that so I can learn how it's done.
    I'm using Repeating Template Regions so if anyone can either tell me what it's called or link me to a good tutorial that would help me that would be great!
    Basically what I'm hoping is that I can press the little "+" on my Repeating Template Region and once there is more than a specific number of the regions, the excess will continue onto another page that I can link to.
    (Side Question... Anyway to organize these regions in Alphabetical order?)
    - Thanks!

    It's called pagination
    There are server behaviors in Dreamweaver to do this.
    MySQL queries use the ORDER BY argument to ORDER BY alphabetically or numberically either in ascending or descending order.
    example:
    SELECT table_column, table_column2
    FROM table_name
    WHERE table_column = 'something'
    ORDER BY table_column ASC
    best,
