2003 and 2007 (on different machines), and I have followed the directions
exactly, nothing happens. Can someone offer a suggestion?

Jeff Stanton said:I have tried that, as well as highlighting the first letter or, as the help
instructions note, placing the cursor anywhere in the paragraph. All to no
avail. What bothers me is the fact that I KNOW that I have done this
successfully in the past.

Mary Sauer said:If the text is a list Drop Caps will not work.
If you think this is a program problem, do a detect and repair.
I rather doubt it is Publisher at fault since it is happening on two
versions.
Insert a page, insert a new text box on the page, type some letters, do
the Drop Cap. Does it work now?
