A drop shadow is a border on the bottom and
right of an object. You can specify the color and transparency of
this shadow.
Procedure
- Click the crosstab, list, repeater table, or table in the
report.
- In the Properties pane title bar, click the select ancestor button
and click Crosstab, List, Repeater Table, or Table. Tip: You can also click the container selector (three orange dots) of the container to select it.
- Under Color & Background, double-click
the Drop Shadow property.
- Select the Drop shadow check box
and then select the color, offset, and transparency values.
Background
gradients and drop shadows do not appear in Excel output. They are
also supported only for report outputs run in the Internet Explorer
Web browsers.
If you add a drop shadow, ensure that you also
specify a background color for the object. Otherwise, if you keep
the default transparent background, data values also have a drop shadow
and are difficult to read.
Tip: To remove the effect,
clear the Drop shadow check box.
