Default Adding a large dropped letter within a text box

How can I create a large dropped capital letter inside of a text box?
I know how to do this outside of a text box but I cannot get it this way
inside of one and have the text next to the large letter.

Thank you in advance.

Drop Caps are placed in frames; frames cannot be used inside text boxes.
Sorry!

Hi Trissa-

Drop caps is not supported in text boxes, but I do have a workaround (in
2003, at least)... which is probably more trouble than it's worth.

Post back if you're interested. |:)
