Text Shadow

Yes, this is happening on all new presentations that I create and on new
text
I add to old ones. The toolbar Shadow command works, as noted, but always
presents as a light grey. The Shadow Format tool is greyed out. I'm at a
complete loss. The only thing I can think to do is to reinstall the
program
- rather a radical move though.


The Shadow Format tool is greyed out.

Do you mean "Shadow Style" tool? If I hover over the shadow button on the
drawing toolbar, it says Shadow Style. (I'm sorry to be pedantic; I just
want to make sure we're all talking about the same thing.)

I wonder if there are any add-ins or anything like that which might disable
the shadow style tool. I've not heard of one, but that sure doesn't mean
much!
