Yeah, I figured how to do drop cap before I even posted that note, but like I
said,
I'm not even sure that is what this is.
Seems like if I have a document several pages long and each paragraph the first
letter is over to the left just a little bit, that it would be a real pain to
do each
and every paragraph that way. That's why I'm not even sure this is drop cap.
Maybe
it's called something else and there is an easier way to do it on a lot of
pages.

I don't have 2000, but I can tell you how to do it in 97. Maybe the same
technique can be used in your system.
In Word, highlight the text you want to drop cap. Then go to Format and
choose Drop cap. From the box that comes up, pick the type of effect you
want and OK that.
It works for me.
