Do it with CSS:
Code: 
first-letter{
font-size:15px;
float:left;
}
Have fun with CSS, dont depend totally on Publisher.CSS is also very very easy and you have to only link it to your Html Page to do that
For example,
This will be your Html Page:
Code: 
<html>
<head>
[B]<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css" type="text/css">[/B]
</head>
<body>A fox jumps over the cat</body>
</html>
link rel.. is to link the CSS file with HTML.In other words, HTML will import its decoration and style with that.But with what?
A css file.You have to make a new CSS file and save it with .css format and its name must be "styles" as you can see in the link rel tag, we gave the url(or href), styles.css, so styles will be it's name and css file be its format.And edit the CSS file and enter this:
Code: 
first-letter{
font-size:15px;
font-weight:bold;
float:left;
}
You can easily see that the CSS file is telling to HTML to make the first-letter(the letter at the beginning of the sentence), big(15px;increase as you want), bold or thick and to stay at left(remove float:left if your text is not wrapped in paragraph;<p> tags or it can make a problem) like the one you gave the picture of.
And it's result will be:

CSS is easy, isn't it?

Assalaamu 'Alaykum,

Highlight your text, go to 'Format' and click on 'Drop Cap' and that should give you the option that you're looking for inshaa'Allah.
