Rogue paragraph with drop capital
Chapters of a document all begin with a paragraph led by a drop
capital. All have the same settings: Justified, Body text, Indents 0, Special (none), Spacing Before 0 pt, all other spacing blank, Widow/Orphan checked, Keep with next a gray check. The dropped capitals show as Dropped, 3 lines, distance from text 0. All but one paragraph print with the dropped capital aligned with the left margin. One pararaph has the dropped capital indented half an inch. Is there some other setting that can be coming into play with this rogue paragraph? |

Rogue paragraph with drop capital
Thanks for the input, Cindy. A frame or something in the margin seem
possibles. I couldn't find anything in the margin and the frame options from Format / Frames only allowed Table of Contents and New Frames Page. Eventually solved the problem by copying the para to a new file and copying it back to the document. Needed some juggling to get it quite right. Still don't know what caused it, but the point is now moot. Cindy M -WordMVP- wrote: Hi Greg, Chapters of a document all begin with a paragraph led by a drop capital.

If you click on the frame around the letter, you should see a "Frame" entry in the Format menu. You can check the settings in there, see if anything looks "wrong". The only other thing that comes to mind would be something that might be in the margin, such as a nofill-noline rectangle, "pushing" the letter over.
