I just switched to Word 2003 and cannot find the text drop shadow button to
put on my tool bar. Please help. Thanks

Go to Tools | Customize and highlight Format on the left and find Drop Cap on
the right and drag it to your toolbar. I hope this has been helpful to you.

There is no built-in button for shadow, nor for the outline, emboss,
or engrave settings in the font dialog.

You can put a macro in normal.dot or another global template, and make
a button to run it. This macro will turn on the shadow for the
selected text if it is currently not shadowed, and will turn it off if
it's currently on.

Sub ToggleShadow()
With Selection.Font
.Shadow = Not .Shadow
End With
End Sub

Many thanks, Jay. I'll use this opportunity to learn about macros.
