Description smisle 2008-06-04 23:52:20 UTC 
Allow drop caps to be set to the height of one line.  Currently, 2 is the
minimum.  This would allow automatic first word styles to be "hacked" into a
document.

This request is related to issue 1480, which was closed as WONTFIX, I disagree
highly with the reasoning behind the resolution, and have left my comment on the
issue, even though it is ancient.

Reassigned to requirements in order to discuss this RFE.
Comment 3 T. J. Frazier 2008-09-18 20:28:28 UTC 
See also Issue 67704, esp. about the OASIS spec.  If they haven't changed their
minds, we should ask them to allow the value of "1" to do something useful.

I didn't see this post because i tried to search "initials", sorry for duplicated bug report. Thanks for little trick of line break with shift+enter to do it, but you have to do it manually.

...when present paragraph number of lines is less than Settings - Lines.

One line drop cap seems to me the correct default. This VERY much needed when writing poetry, for example, allowing for a freer layout.
