Step by step

  1. Install LightningXL

    Download LightningXL, then follow the instructions. Setup takes about two minutes.

  2. Select what to act on

    Put the cursor where you want it, or select the text or object.

  3. Tap Option, then type N R C N

    Tap ⌥ on its own to show the keytips, then N for Insert, R C for Drop Cap, N for None.

What Alt N R C N does

None sits under Insert › Drop Cap on the Word ribbon. On Windows, Alt N R C N runs it from the keyboard. Word for Mac has the same ribbon but no Alt key, so without LightningXL you click through Insert › Drop Cap › None instead.
