Video Tutorial: Drop Caps from A to Z

Here’s the latest episode in our ongoing series of free tip videos on Lynda.com – you know we have an InDesign Secrets title there, don’t you? Every other week, David and I take turns presenting one free video tutorial and one only available to Lynda.com subscribers. Access all our free and subscriber-only videos at the InDesign Secrets page on Lynda.com. Each free video episode is also written up in a clever Lynda.com blog post by their “content curator” extraordinaire, Colleen Wheeler, as it’s released.

I start out this episode by saying that I want to take you from the basics of creating a drop cap to advanced tweaks and tips in 5 minutes; but you can clearly see that the video is almost eleven minutes long – I just had too many tips and tricks to share, I guess.
