ST_DropCap (Text Frame Drop Cap Location)

This simple type specifies the location which shall be used to position a drop cap text frame when the contents of that text frame are displayed in the anchor paragraph at display time.

[Note: Although a drop cap is simply a text frame, the values of this simple type are used to determine how the cap should be positioned relative to the following non-frame paragraph in relative terms (see enumeration values), rather than relying on absolute sizing. end note]

[Example: Consider the following paragraph containing a text frame which should be positioned as a drop cap:

<w:p>

<w:pPr>

<w:framePr w:dropCap="margin" w:lines="3" w:hSpace="432" w:wrap="around" w:vAnchor="text" w:hAnchor="page" />

</w:pPr>

<w:r>

<w:t>A</w:t>

</w:r>

</w:p>

The dropCap attribute specifies a value of margin, so this drop cap will be placed outside of the text margin before the start of the current text. end example]

This simple type's contents are a restriction of the XML Schema string datatype.

The following are possible enumeration values for this type:

Enumeration Value	Description
