If you select the quotation mark and the W before inserting the drop cap,
both will be included. But it is conventional to omit quotation marks and
other punctuation from drop caps, so just lose the quote and drop the W
alone.

I need the W to be the drop capital, but Word uses the quotation mark.
Is there a workaround?
