That makes sense. My key field will still be at default values.

but what causes the upward drift? a source file will have top of dropcap aligned with top of 1st line i.e. it really is a DROPcap - nothing extends upwards.
but after conversion it will typically be vertically re-centered so top of "dropcap" is visibly higher than top of 1st line.

NB curiosity only, I don't much care for dropcaps so I will often remove all that styling anyway, after conversion
