Is the letter the first letter of a new paragraph?

One last posibility. Check what view mode you are in. If you are in the
Outline mode, then Drop Cap is ALWAYS disabled. To change the View mode, choose NORMAL from the VIEW menu. "Terry Farrell" wrote: Is the letter the first letter of a new paragraph?

Sorry about the duplicate response
It should be available when you click anywhere in a paragraph, unless that paragraph is in a table or a text box. On Oct 7, 4:57*pm, Reitanos wrote: Select the letter to drop?

Cannot work with Word 2007 docx
On one of my other PCs (WinXP Pro, Office 2007) I created a word document
(docx - compatibility mode). When I open the document (docx - compatibility mode) on my Vista Ultimate system (Office 2007) I cannot select any of the text with my cursor. If I go back to the WinXP system all seems to function normally. On my Vista system I also noticed that I cannot click in the vertical scroll bar area. I also noticed that I can use the arrow keys to move around in the document. When I open a PowerPoint or Excel file I don't have this cursor issue. When I close Word I'm informed that it has stopped working. I just attempted to create a new test document on the Vista system and I see the same issues as with the other document. Therefore I don't think it has anything to do with the document. I was going to attempt a repair, as you can do in 2003, but I could not find the darn option. OK now I found it, MS has renamed the darn function and put it in a different place (thank you MS for making word so much better, ops do I sound bitter, sorry). When I open the options window I cannot use the mouse or arrow keys to select Resources or anything in the Nav pane but I can use the mouse in the right-half of the window. I'm in the process of moving to the Vista system and I'm not sure just when the word issue appeared but originally all was OK. |

Sounds like a corrupted Word DataKey. Run Regedit, navigate down to DATA and
delete it. When Word is restarted, it will automatically recreate the keys.
