PUB2000: Word Story Editing Feature Removes Drop Cap Formatting
This article was previously published under Q212608
When you edit Publisher text that contains Drop Cap formatting with Microsoft Word, the Drop Cap formatting will be discarded.
NOTE: To edit Publisher text with Microsoft Word, right-click the text frame, point to
Change Text, and then click
Edit Story in Microsoft Word.
The Drop Cap formatting is discarded because the Rich Text Format (RTF)
filter and the Word Document format do not support the kind of text
formatting necessary to retain the Drop Cap formatting. When you use the
Edit Story in Microsoft Word command in Publisher, the following takes place:
- Publisher converts the selected story to RTF.
- Publisher starts Word and passes the RTF formatted file to it.
- When you update the story in Word, the information is converted back
to RTF and returned to Publisher.
After you update the story and return to Publisher, select the paragraphs
on which you want to use Drop Cap formatting, and click
Drop Cap on the
Format menu.
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Publisher 2000 Standard Edition

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
