  Apply drop shadow effect to a single object

  Posted by John Blackwell on March 2, 2011 at 8:44 pm

  I am creating a trifold in InDesign CS5 and I currently have a few blocks of text and a few images. I want to add a drop shadow to one single block of text, but everytime I select that block of text and add the effect the effect is applied to all objects on the screen.

  Can anyone tell me where I have gone wrong?

  Sorry for the lack of details about my setup. If I can provide useful specifics to determine a solution please let me know.

  Thank you,
  John

  I’ve never seen this happen before but….Are you using a character or paragraph style? Maybe the effect is being applied to the style which is then applied to all other items using the same style.
