Using Drop Caps

A drop cap is an enlarged first capital letter in a selection of text. A drop cap is created by lowering the baseline of the first character in a paragraph so that it aligns with the baseline of the last indented line.

You create drop caps by increasing the percentage of the current font height. For example, 200% doubles the size of the first letter of the paragraph.

Drop caps are only available with container text, not with freeform text.
