1.Click in the paragraph that you want to begin with a drop cap. The paragraph must contain text.
2.On the Insert tab, in the Text group, click Drop Cap.
3.Click Dropped or In margin.

Wow, I didn't know about this. What does one do this for in a manuscript?
Hi Damaria thanks for the comment. I do believe this is a rather old fashioned thing, but the book we are typing has a large initial capital on the first letter of every chapter.
