I like to use Drop Caps in my writing. I have seen where when pasting from MWord the text portion comes in as a table displaying the letter used. However, there seems to me to be a more surer way of inserting a Drop Cap into the text tab.

Onemorething, on two of my blogs (The Contemplative Thinker) & (simpleminds) after I publish on these blogs there seems to be a reasonable amount of 'jumping' on page 1. Any fixes?
