Microsoft Word 97
Using a Drop Cap
Summary: Add a drop cap at the beginning of a paragraph.
Drop Caps are the stylized letters that you sometimes see at the beginning of a paragraph or document. They serve no real purpose except to make the document look fancier. Sure, you could create this drop cap by inserting a text box with the first letter of the document, but there is an EASY way to create drop caps. Click on the paragraph where you wish to insert a drop cap. Choose the "Format" menu, and then "Drop Cap." Make your choices and choose "OK" to "fancy up" your document.
Although this is a nice feature, don't overdo drop caps! One per document is plenty.
