Shape Shadow Properties Dialog

You can add a drop shadow to a shape using the Spread Designer. Most of the time, you may simply add a standard shadow using the choices from the Drop Shadow option in the Drawing Tools menu. To create a custom shadow, you need to change any of the shape properties. To do this, use the Shadow Properties dialog. To open the Shadow Properties dialog, from the Drawing Tools menu, click the Drop Shadow option and select Custom. The Shadow Properties dialog appears, an example of which is shown here. The table below explains the properties related to drop shadows.
