Creating a Text Shadow Macro and Toolbar Button in Word

Create a toolbar button in Word 2003 that will let you shadow the text you’ve selected.

I like the 3D emphasis that the shadow effect has and I use it on my titles often. In the Tools, Customize area of Word, it lets you drag additional formatting buttons to your toolbar, but they didn’t include the shadow button among them. So I decided to create a macro to let you apply shadowing to text with one click of a new toolbar button.
