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
