PUB2000: Word Story Editing Feature Removes Drop Cap Formatting (212608)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q212608 SYMPTOMS
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.
CAUSE
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.
RESOLUTION
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.
