Default Converting drop-caps globally (Word 2007)

That suggests that you're allowing a chapter to break after a single
line! If you turn on "Widow & Orphan" protection in Format Paragraph
(second tab), the problem will disappear and you can keep your two-
line drop cap chapter numbers.

Only thing is, a 1-line drop is actually almost no drop -- all it
really does is put the cap in a different font. If you mean a 2-line
drop (i.e., the cap would vertically span 2 lines), change the obvious
line above.


Hi Mark. Yeah, I don't like changing it to one line. I would do this
mainly to preserve the drop-cap format, in case I change it again. I'm
putting together an eBook of the entire Bible, and every chapter number
is a drop-cap. Sometimes they end up on the bottom of the page, getting
cut off, and I can't figure out what to do about that. Probably what
I'll do is change them globally, and then, if I ever figure it out,
change them back. :-)

Hope you're well.
