How to Create Smart Shape Captions with a Dropshadow

Hi,

I produce software sims for the software company I work for.  I have developed a custom template that utilizes Smart Shapes for captions, and a custom Failure shape and highlight.

I record my sims in the Training mode, and the Smart Shapes I created work fine.  But, what I wished I could do is have a drop shadow for the Smart Shape. I know I can assign a drop shadow after the screens are recorded, but it there a way to automate this from the Object Style Manager or other means?

    Shadow nor reflection are part of an object style.

    However you can use this workflow:

    • Add a shadow to one of the shapes (caption is another type of object) used as text container
    • Open the hamburger menu and choose the Appropriiate option (if you use consstenstly styles, use '...same style'
