First, open Word and click where you want a drop cap letter to appear and navigate to

Insert | Pictures | Online Pictures

Next, you will see the Online Pictures box. Search for the letter you want to use (e.g. type “R” into the Search for box and hit Enter). Simply select your image and click Insert. Refer to the below image:

The letter may appear very large or very small within your document, so resize it if necessary.

Now, right-click the image of your letter to format it. For example, Crop the image slightly, setting Wrap Text to ‘tight’ or ‘square’. See the below image:
