Hello,
Can't implement drop caps.
I'm running Lyx 1.5.5 under Debian Lenny.
The style dropping.sty is installed under /usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex/dropping.
I've entered /usepackage{dropping} in Document/Settings/Latex Preamble.
And \dropping{3}{I} in an ERT box at the beginning of my paragraph.
Get error message "Undefined control sequence."
Odd thing is that a text segment several words in from the ERT box are highlighted as the error.
Any thoughts on where I'm going wrong?
Many thanks,
LRP

Drop caps in lyx
That's an old package, I even don't have it installed in TeXLive2008. You may consider giving a try to lettrine package which serves the same purpose, but has much more control over drop caps. Check out its documentation as well as demos.
BTW, take care about / (slash) and \ (backslash) in LaTeX commands. Check if you specified dropping package in your example as
and not as
