Thanks for sharing the info. Pedro.

Fortunately I have found the cause of this problem and it could be listed
as a user error.

Needless to say after using MS Word for roughly 17 years I know it better
than L.O. - which I recently have started to use as my full time word
processor.

Anyhow - in MS Word - You can create a drop cap at the beginning of a one
line, short sentence. Tonight, I discovered that does not hold true to
either OpenOffice or LibreOffice.

Its seems for either OO or LO - you have to have a paragraph with a minimal
of three lines of text in order for Drop Cap to work properly.

I really with L.O. had a LibreOffice 3.4 Manual for Dummies available so
extreme novices to the program could easily learn each program/feature
within L.O.

The only manual I have seen so far is for L.O. 3.3 and it is definitely not
written in a simplistic manner.

Thanks again for your help.

In doing further testing - I have also discovered if you install
OpenOffice
3.3.0 - the problem exists there, as well. Ironically, whatever is
causing
this does not affect MS Word 2007.

Apparently, LO 3.4.4. has shut off some Drop Cap setting which affects
all
versions of L.O and OO.


I can always set a Dropcap in a paragraph. The funny part is that if I save
the document as ODT it will not retain the font used for the Drop Cap
because it doesn't save the Character Style (it shows as [None] on reload).
Saving the document as DOC keeps the correct formatting. LOL

In the attached files the Drop Cap is formatted as Times New Roman and the
text as Arial. In my PC if I open the ODT file again it will show the Drop
Cap as Arial while the DOC file shows as TNR.
