Drop Cap = enlarging the first character in a set of text that draws attention to the beginning of the section of text
This attribute may be applied to an entire word or just a letter
Reverse Text is a format that changes the typical look of text to light-colored text with a dark background. Great way to highlight text on a publication.

Text does not always fit into one text box or you may need to continue the text on another page.

When text overflows are created, the text in multiple text boxes is automatically linked using the Autoflow feature.
