The header of this document was created by someone else. I want to change the color of the drop shadows. I was able to figure out how to do it for the white box (Object>Effects>DropShadow>Color & Multiply). However I cannot figure out where the black shadow under the # sign and the number are coming from. They are both live, editable text, but there is no drop shadow effect applied to them.

I'm attaching a link to a packaged up version of this page in case you want to look inside.

Select the frame that has the #7 in it, then open the Effects panel. The drop shadow is applied to the text at the frame level.

With the text box selected, When you chose Object > Effect > Drop Shadow, look at the top of the dialog. It says Settings for: Object. Change that drop-down to Setting for: Text.

that is where that shadow is defined.

Without looking at the document, have checked to see if it's just a duplicated object?

My first guess was that it was a white number on top of a black number, slightly offset. But there is no grouping, and deleting or editing the white one changes the black one as well, so I don't think that is the case.
