I have Adobe InDesign CS6. My pages have some background color. When I use "drop  shadow" on a text field, the background color gets changed in this text field. It looks ok on the screen, but not ok on a print (see attached picture.).

Bob is right. You'll find it here: Edit > Transparency Blend Space.

OK, I set Transparency Blend Space to Document RGB, since I specified the background color of my page as RGB. But the text frame with the Drop Shadow still shows a different background color. SJRiegel said the default style of text frame is set to Basic Photo. So I selected my text frame and went to Windows>Styles>Object Styles, said [Basic Text Frame], and applied it, but this removed my drop shadow.

Select the Text Frame. From the Effects panel (Window > Effects) choose the panel menu and choose Clear Effects

Thanks, but it didn 't work. When I selected Windows>Effects and Text: Normal 100% and chose Clear Effects, it removed the drop shadow.
