as far as i know you can't do a drop shadow or outline on variable text at all. FP doesn't support either. The only effect you can do is shadowed text (not exactly a drop shadow) but the same text of a different colour offset behind the original text.... FP is so limited in this respect! --- Ashley Smith Graphic Design Track 21 Graphix Inc. tel: 519-237-3838 ext. 216 toll free: 1-877-534-7337 fax: 519-237-3818 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> website: www.track21.ca <http://www.track21.ca/> hours of operation: Monday-Friday: 8:30am - 4:30pm ---
