Adding a drop shadow effect in InDesign is a great way to make your text or objects stand out and create depth in your design. Here's how to add a drop shadow in InDesign: 1. Open your InDesign document and select the text or object you want to add a drop shadow to. 2. Go to the "Effects" panel. If you can't find it, go to "Window" in the top menu and select "Effects". 3. Click on the "Drop Shadow" option in the Effects panel. 4. Adjust the settings of the drop shadow to your liking. You can change the opacity, angle, distance, size, and color of the drop shadow. 5. Preview the drop shadow by clicking the "Preview" button in the Effects panel. 6. Once you're happy with the drop shadow, click "OK" to apply it to your selected text or object. Alternatively, you can add a drop shadow by right-clicking on the text or object and selecting "Drop Shadow" from the context menu. This will bring up the same Effects panel where you can adjust the settings of the drop shadow. That's it! Adding a drop shadow in InDesign is easy and can add depth and visual interest to your designs.
