Drop caps
Drop caps are inserted using a frame. The frame is not part of the paragraph
style. Word does a pretty good job of protecting this frame from anything you might do to its paragraph alone, but if you select text that includes the drop cap (that is, includes some text both before and after the drop cap) and reapply the style and reset the font, the drop cap will be lost (though it will become a separate paragraph). This is pretty far-fetched and probably not what's happening in your case, however. -- Suzanne S.

Drop caps
What version of Word is this? Unless you've reported this repeatedly, we've
seen several reports of this problem lately, and I'm wondering if it's something new in Word 2007. -- Suzanne S.

Drop caps
Word 2003. Not 2007.
