 <td><p>Here is an example used for text. Notice that the glyphs have the shadows, not the frame, since stroke and fill colors are both None. In cases where you have a fill and/or stroke color assigned for the frame, you will then see a shadow for the frame itself. If the frame has a fill color, then you will not see shadowing of the individual glyphs.</p></td></tr>

+<td VALIGN=middle><p>Wait a minute! Didn't I just say this can't be done? I didn't say it couldn't be done, but here we use a trick.</p>
+<p>The trick is to make a duplicate of the original frame with the same X,Y coordinates. Using the copy that is <strong>underneath</strong>, set its frame to have a stroke of Black and a fill of White. So now you see the shadows of the glyphs on top of the white background of the frame in back, which is producing the frame shadow.</p>
+<p>Remember, to alternate between selecting frames in a stack, hold down <strong>Ctrl</strong> while clicking on them. An alternative method would be to work on the frame on top, then push its level underneath the other as needed.</p></td>
