The Shadowing dialog allows you to define a shadow for the report object.  Shadowing allows you to give your reports a 3D effect.

 

The shadow can be placed on all sides of the object and its width can also be adjusted.  You can also specify the fill type and the color of the shadow.  To specify a shadow, select the fill type and then use the arrow buttons to move the shadow to the desired position.

 

Note: If the shadow fill style is transparent, you will not able to see it on the sample object.  It will appear as if the positioning buttons have no effect, but in reality they do, you just can't see the shadow.
