Office 2008 - Drop Shadows?

[freediverx]

Doesn't Office 2008 provide any way to add drop shadows to pictures? I can't seem to find this feature, or any mention of it, anywhere in the Help file or online. With all the obscure add-ons included in this release, not to mention the opportunity to leverage Leopard graphics capabilities, it seems rather odd that something this basic would be left out.

If I'm not mistaken, this function is available in Office 2007 for Windows under Picture Tools-Picture Styles. Anyone?

It's there - Go to Format> Picture or use the Formatting Palette from the
Toolbox (or View> Formatting Palette).

Just make sure that you're not working in Compatibility Mode - as indicated
on the Title Bar. If you *are* it means you're working in a Word 97-2003
file format which doesn't support the new graphics so you can't use them.
Save As a .docx and watch the features come to life

You need to make sure the picture style is set to anything but ³inline with
text² in the ³Wrapping² section of the Formatting palette. Then you¹ll have
a ³Shadow² section in the Formatting Palette.
