Default no shadow in page properties of Visio 2003

[AnandaSim]

Hi All,

With Visio 2003, you can select a shape and set a range of Shadow
properties to be applied. In particular Style 01 - No Shadow.

If I want all the shapes in the page to have No Shadow by default, I go
to Page Properties but Style 01 is not visible - I can see Style 02 and
subsequent variations.

How do I opt not to have Shape Shadows as default?

Thanks
Ananda

Try Format > Define Styles and change the fill attributes for the "Normal"
style. Shadow attributes are under Fill settings.

Thanks. That sounds a reasonable course of action. Odd though, why
Style 01 is not visible in Page Properties.

Style01 and similarly numbered styles are used for the Color Schemes. You
can give a style a hidden property, which, in some circumstances is really
cool.
