SYMPTOMS
When you format the first letter of a sentence as a large initial (or
"dropped") capital letter, the letter is not aligned correctly to the left
of the paragraph. The large initial letter may appear at the top of the
page or in some other unexpected location away from the paragraph.
NOTE: To create a large initial capital letter, click Drop Cap on the
Format menu.
CAUSE
This behavior occurs when you have changed the section vertical alignment
in your document to center or justified.
Large initial capital letters are inserted with the use of frames. Frames
are not affected by center or justified vertical alignment.
WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior, change the vertical alignment of the section
to top. To do this, use the following steps:
- On the Format menu, click Document.
- Click the Layout tab.
- In the Vertical Alignment list, click Top, and then click OK.
