Dropped Drop Cap issue.

Greetings,

The reason for this message is I am making final edits to my book. I was successful with my initial attempt to insert a dropped cap. However, where I indicate the section of the story i.e., "Chapter 1" and insert the dropped cap the letter, it rests on top of the sentence. If I erase "Chapter" and its header, and I bring the paragraph to the top of the page I am able to successfully insert the dropped cap. My question is how is it possible to insert the dropped cap with the word art, and the chapter notification intact?

This pictures reference what I am discussing:

Answer
The issue is caused by the paragraph, which it is desired be started with a Dropped Cap, being formatted to have the lines kept together.  If that attribute is removed, the Dropped Cap will assume the desired position.
Hope this helps,
