D'oh - sorry about that. Thanks.
Changed to this and it works:
..note:first-letter {
padding-left: 30px;
}
Interestingly this appears (renders?) the same in Firefox:
div.note:first-letter {
padding-left: 30px;
}
but in IE the first letter seems to inherit .note's padding, margin,
border properties etc.
