Don't have OSX, but this is what I did; a. File->New b. Create a text box c. Insert one paragraph of sample text d. Story editor e. Edit styles f. New Paragraph style g. Ticked Drop caps, Lines 4, Distance from text 0 h. Applied And it all "worked" So I tried this; a., b., and c as above d. Edit->Styles e. New paragraph style f. Ticked Drop caps, Lines 4, Distance from text 0 Apply h. Properties->Style settings i. Set Paragraph Style to New Style All seemed to work, see http://members.pcug.org.au/~rcook/images/Scribus_Drop_Cap.png -- Owen
