Issues adding drop shadow to section marker text in the parent page

[HHDPI]

When I add a drop shadow to a special character (in the case, section marker) in the parent page, the actual page shows the shadow as just saying "Section" instead of the section name. Other effects seem to work, I have bevel and emboss applied and it looks fine. Thanks in advance if you have a solution!

A limitation of effects is that they are applied to frames, including textframes; not to individual letters or words within a frame.
