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 !!

Can you send me a simple stripped down project to look at?

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

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.
