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

Since drop caps are created using frames, you won't be able to create one
inside a table.

Thanks Suzanne,

Is there any way that I can make the letter look like a drop capital in a
table?

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.
