Hey Ron,

I know I shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth, but I ran into an issue which I hope someone can point me in the right direction. I would really like to be able to use this great extension on my site.

Here goes my sad tale: After installing the extension, I was successful in "throwing together" a quick test page, with 4 breakpoints similar to my website design. Everything works as expected, so naturally it was time to enhance one of my existing webpages.

Wrong... the Drop Caps effect didn't work. I then 'cloned' the page so that I could work on the problem further, removing various elements. Even with all elements removed, no Drop Caps!

My website uses Master Pages, which contains a menu and some 'Letterhead' title information., plus a footer. Once I removed the Master Frame, Drop Caps work fine. I added back the Master Page but removed the footer this time, but still no go. There appears to be a conflict 'somewhere' when using a Master Page, but I haven't found the answer, yet.

I am hoping someone might have have an idea, cuz this is a wicked extension I'd like to make use of.

Many thanks !!

Sure...

See if you can download the simple one page (plus Master) project here:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CkeMzD ... sp=sharing

The index page only displays correctly with Drop Caps when the Master page is removed.

Thanks for looking!

I found a clue that may help ...

If I add a text box to the Master page (positioned on top of the sample title layer), I noticed that Drop Caps is acting on the Master page element, NOT the text on the index page. It doesn't seem to matter what I re-label the text box on the index page to be, the extension doesn't 'see' the index page elements, if that makes sense.

I'm delighted to report that this updated release solves the issue I was having when a webpage uses a Master page!! It does exactly what I was hoping for.

Great job (again) Ron... :lol: :lol:
