(((NOTE: Sending again as I didn't see my note post to the list.)))

Hello everyone:

If there is someone on the list that can help me with this, I can send you an
attachment to your personal email address so you can see an example.

I get in email a file every week.  The document is in 2 column format, no 
problem, I
can do that.

The whole document is paragraph after paragraph of text in Microsoft Word.

Here is what I am wanting to recreate, the format of the document.

For each paragraph, the fonts are all the same size, but the first letter of the
paragraph is one letter over to the left from the rest of the paragraph.  Thus 
each
paragraph stands out in a unique way.
<like I said, I can send a sample if I'm not wording this so you can understand 
what
I'm talking about>.

Someone suggested to me once that this could be a 'drop cap', but if it is, I 
don't
know how to do it to the whole  document like this and where it's all the same 
size
font.

I'm using Word 2000, and would like step by step instructions.  Let me repeat 
that
last part:
step by step instructions.  <grin>  : )

I've tried writing the person that sends me the file <actually I get it from 
more
than one person and I've written all of them!> but they get the file from 
someone
else  (???), and so far, the person that creates the file either hasn't gotten 
my
request for help, or has decided not to reply.  <who knows>  So, if anyone can 
figure
out what I'm talking about and can help me, I'd sure apprecitate it.  I work in 
Word
daily and would like to incorporate this formatting in my documents in the 
future.

Thanks in advance!

Sincerely,

G.R. Hanson
