Word - Shadow Option Missing from Toolbar/Formatting

[doverrog]

Version: 2004
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger)
Processor: Power PC

I understand that Word should have a facility for adding a shadow to imported pictures.
According to the dropdown help, it's an option on the Formatting Palette under Shadow.
I don't seem to have that option. 'Shadow' doesn't appear.
Any ideas anyone?

Check the Text Wrapping on the image - if it's set to In Line with Text you
can't apply a Shadow. The image must be in the Draw layer (floating) in
order to apply effects such as that. Set the Wrapping to something other
than In Line & the Shadow group will be added to the FP.

Thanks CyberTax.
You've sorted the problem. Pity the 'help' within Word doesn't tell you though!
I'd been going round in circles.

Yeah, the Help is a work in progress & is getting better. The original when
2008 was released was a total atrocity.

Glad you got it sorted!
