Drop Capital inside a table?
I've been set a task to replicate a document which begins with a big letter T
inside a table. The T looks like a drop capital and is the length of 3 lines of text which go alongside it. I'm having trouble finding a way of creating a proper drop capital inside the table with the first line of text lining up to the top of the T. Any ideas? Cheers Damian |

Since drop caps are created using frames, you won't be able to create one
inside a table. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Damian" wrote in message ...

Thanks Suzanne,
Is there any way that I can make the letter look like a drop capital in a table? "Suzanne S.

Damian,
To get the effect, you could insert a large initial letter and then format the following text with a raised smaller font. FormatFontCharacter SpacingPositionRaised. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Greg Maxey - Word MVP My web site http://gregmaxey.mvps.org Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Damian wrote: Thanks Suzanne, Is there any way that I can make the letter look like a drop capital in a table?
