Paragraph format - Missing the obvious

[Ron P]

Help~! I am trying to format a paragraph so the beginning
letter is large and bold and the first two lines of text
fit to the right of the large letter? I hope I explained
this right. Where can I set this format for each
paragraph start? THank you

Format -> Drop Cap

HTH,

fyi, it's called a dingbat when the first letter is much
larger than the text!

No, it's not; it's called a drop cap. A "dingbat" is a pi or symbol
character such as are found in the Wingdings font.
