Actually, the height is one of the options on 'Format / paragraph / drop caps tab'.

Hi Matt,
It works for me. I didn't see any effect when I applied the drop caps to a single line. The first character won't be any taller than the paragraph. It looks like the max height is three lines.

Hi,



The documentation for OOo 2.0.4 says there are two ways to insert
dropped caps:



Choose Format - Paragraph - Drop Caps tab

Choose Format - Styles and Formatting - open context menu Modify/New
- Drop Caps tab

On my Windows XP system with OOo 2.0.4 it's Format>*Character*>Font Effects and then choose Small capitals from the drop down list labelled "Effects".

Or Format>Styles>Character Styles>Drop Caps where "Character Styles" is achieved by clicking the second icon from the left in the top row of icons, the first being Paragraph Styles.

So it's a character thing rather than a paragraph thing.

Not the same thing, Harold. We're talking about an Initial capital letter that is much larger than the rest of the line, and drops below it, as in some fancy, older, decorated manuscripts.
