Drop Cap/Hanging Indent


Drop cap, in desktop publishing, is when the first letter of the first word of a paragraph is larger than all other letters to "drop" down two or more lines. Drop cap is often seen at the beginning of novel when the top of the first letter of the first word lines up with the top of the first sentence and drops down to the four or fifth sentence.


Hanging indent in word processing is when all other lines but the first are indented. Hanging indent is also known as a hanging paragraph.
