hot keys for drop caps
These are the two instructions for using 'Drop Caps' (Given in the current Help pages.)
To access this command:
Choose Format - Paragraph - Drop Caps tab. Choose View - Styles - open context menu Modify/New - Drop Caps tab.
Due to automatic file locking not working* with L/O 6.4... (64-bit) I've uninstalled it and use ver 6.3.5... BUT the above directions do not appertain to this version i.e can't/ don't find the instructions leading to a resolution nor do they match the screens I am seeing trying to follow them. The object is to SET the drop caps to be automatic with a hot key combination to facilitate book chapter 1st paragraph headings. Otherwise it is a boring repetitive action to change 29 chapter heading 1st paragraphs to 'Drop Caps'. Please see images attached.
*renders any file I open to not be editable or savable with out copying over to another file.
would you explain what you mean by "hot key combination". if you mean ShortCut keys that perform a customized action say for example, pressing the <f8> sends the document to a printer. then you need to do a two step process; first creating a macro then secondly assign a ShortCut key to the macro. am i on the correct track ?
