default caption shadow?

Hi -

Just updated to Cap 9, and I see we can now do shadows on text captions.  (Leaping from 5.5, so this is new to me.)

Is there a way to set it so the default text caption has a shadow by default?  There doesn't seem to be a setting for that in the default preferences.

Thanks.

    No, for some reason, Shadow is never included in the Object Style Manager (I hope you were pointing at that feature when you speak about Preferences?) for any object. You'll have a lot of exploring fun, try to get acquainted with Themes, which include a Theme Colors palette, all Object Styles, Master slides and Skin. Sorry about the 'shadow', but the Shadow part of the Properties panel has a menu (hotdog), that allows you to apply the shadow to all items with same style or of same type:

    Just a tip here...If you're creating HTML5 content, DON'T use drop-shadows or reflections.  In some cases you won't be able to use them anyway, but in all cases where you CAN use them you will find they take up far too much processing power and RAM resources in mobile content.
