Thank you for the suggestion.
Skydog, search in the Sigil section for "dropcap". There are a few ways to do that.

You need to place/adjust the text-indent settings in the proper place(s)
Look at the source-view to see what a normal <p .... starts with (not the Dropcap <p )
That is where the text-indent belongs (I use 1em on my PEz)
remember the continuation ( on the line above or it will not work
