Default Can I add a drop cap to a paragraph style?

Is there a way to make a paragraph style, such that applying the style to a
paragraph will make the first letter or word of the paragraph into a drop cap?

I can do it manually, I just can't see how to get it to be included in a
style.

Thank you in advance for any help.

There is no way to include this in a style. A drop cap is just text in a
frame. A frame can be included in a paragraph style but not in a character
style, which is what this would require.
