I have Extra Spacing so I could add a little extra spacing here to the right side if I think I need it.Īlso the Outdent. So I can have it wrap closer to the letter like that or have it in a straight line. It can do that to one less than the number of lines high that the Drop Cap is. If I increase that to one you could see it raises the drop cap one line above the text.
First the number of Raised Lines which is zero. Under Options you have a lot more.Ĭlick that and you have this separate menu here with all sorts of controls. But I can increase that to include the second letter or maybe the first five letters. So I could reduce that to say only two lines or I can increase it to four lines or however many I want. Then instead we're going to scroll down and we can now see that the checkbox is checked. So let's go back to the first default one. You don't have to use any one of the these. Here's one where the letter is actually white with a black background with little curved corners. The letter if right in the middle of the left margin. Here we have one that goes out to the left and the rest of the text if flush with the left margin. In this one we get a letter that covers four lines and the lines mold to the shape of the letter. So here is the capital letter sticking out above the first line. Now I can switch to one of these other styles by clicking here and choosing one of these. So you can see here I have a large first letter that goes through three lines and pushes all three lines over to the right. I'll check it and it will choose the default Drop Cap. You can turn the Drop Cap on by simply checking the box or choosing a style. There's a checkbox and also a little menu where you can choose some styles. Go all the way to the bottom and you'll see Drop Cap as the very last thing. Now that you've got that you want to go to Format in the sidebar and then Style.
You could select it and it doesn't really matter as long as the cursor is in the paragraph because it's something that affects the entire paragraph although it's only the first letter that's going to change. So it could be blinking at the beginning or be at the end. To create a Drop Cap in a paragraph you need to put your cursor in the paragraph.
