<h1>Insert a drop cap</h1>
|
|
<p>A <b>drop cap</b> is a large capital letter used at the beginning of a paragraph or section. The size of a drop cap is usually several lines.</p>
|
|
<p>To add a drop cap in the <a href="https://www.onlyoffice.com/document-editor.aspx" target="_blank" onclick="onhyperlinkclick(this)"><b>Document Editor</b></a>,</p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>place the cursor within the required paragraph,</li>
|
|
<li>switch to the <b>Insert</b> tab of the top toolbar,</li>
|
|
<li>click the <div class = "icon icon-insert_dropcap_icon"></div> <b>Drop Cap</b> icon on the top toolbar,</li>
|
|
<li>in the opened drop-down list select the option you need:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><b>In Text</b> <div class = "icon icon-dropcap_text"></div> - to place the drop cap within the paragraph.</li>
|
|
<li><b>In Margin</b> <div class = "icon icon-dropcap_margin"></div> - to place the drop cap in the left margin.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<p><img class="floatleft" alt="Drop Cap example" src="../images/dropcap_example.png" />The first character of the selected paragraph will be transformed into a drop cap. If you need the drop cap to include some more characters, add them manually: select the drop cap and type in other letters you need.</p>
|
|
<p>To adjust the drop cap appearance (i.e. font size, type, decoration style or color), select the letter and use the corresponding icons on the <b>Home</b> tab of the top toolbar.</p>
|
|
<p>When the drop cap is selected, it's surrounded by a <b>frame</b> (a container used to position the drop cap on the page). You can quickly change the frame size dragging its borders or change its position using the <div class = "icon icon-arrow"></div> icon that appears after hovering your mouse cursor over the frame.</p>

<p>To delete the added drop cap, select it, click the <div class = "icon icon-insert_dropcap_icon"></div> <b>Drop Cap</b> icon on the <b>Insert</b> tab of the top toolbar and choose the <b>None</b> <div class = "icon icon-dropcap_none"></div> option from the drop-down list.</p>
|
|

|
|
</ul>

|
|
<p>The <b>Margins</b> tab allows setting the distance between the drop cap and the <b>Top</b>, <b>Bottom</b>, <b>Left</b> and <b>Right</b> borders around it (if the borders have previously been added).</p>

<p>The <b>Frame</b> tab allows adjusting the following parameters:</p>

|
<li><b>Position</b> is used to select the <b>Inline</b> or <b>Flow</b> wrapping style. You can also click <b>None</b> to delete the frame.</li>
|
|
<li><b>Width</b> and <b>Height</b> are used to change the frame dimensions. The <b>Auto</b> option allows automatically adjusting the frame size to fit the drop cap. The <b>Exactly</b> option allows specifying fixed values. The <b>At least</b> option is used to set the minimum height value (if you change the drop cap size, the frame height changes accordingly, but it cannot be less than the specified value).</li>
|
|
<li><b>Horizontal</b> parameters are used either to set the exact <b>position</b> of the frame in the selected units of measurement with respect to a margin, page or column, or to align the frame (left, center or right) with respect to one of these reference points. You can also set the horizontal <b>Distance from text</b> i.e. the amount of space between the vertical frame borders and the text of the paragraph.</li>
|
|
<li><b>Vertical parameters</b> are used either to set the exact <b>position</b> of the frame is the selected units of measurement with respect to a margin, page or paragraph, or to align the frame (top, center or bottom) with respect to one of these reference points.

|
|
<li><b>Move with text</b> is used to make sure that the frame moves as the paragraph to which it is anchored.</li>
