Shadow control in PowerPoint

Wednesday, June 22, 2005

A drop shadow can be added to just about any AutoShape in PowerPoint, but the trick to making it look realistic is knowing how to control it. The Shadow Style icon can be found on the Drawing toolbar and gives you the option of setting the direction of the shadow for any given image or object on a slide, as well as the Shadow Settings menu. Once visible, the Shadow Settings has tools for nudging shadows up, down, left or right, as well as the ability to change the color of a shadow and make it semitransparent.
