SYMPTOMS
You apply a Drop Cap text style to a single-line paragraph in Microsoft Office Word 2007. When you do this, the drop cap descends father down the page than it would for a multiline paragraph.



CAUSE
This problem occurs when you use a paragraph style that has the Line spacing option set to multiple lines.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, follow these steps:
 * 1) Add extra text to the paragraph so that the paragraph continues to a second line.
 * 2) Click Drop Cap in the Text group on the Insert tab.
 * 3) Click either Dropped or In margin.
 * 4) Delete the extra text that you added to the paragraph in step 1.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the &quot;Applies to&quot; section.
