I created a 4x3 cell table in PPT 2003. A shadow automatically showed up
behind the table. How can I get the shadow to go away (the 3d or Shadow
Styles are not on)...

Try this

Insert an autoshape (say a rectangle it doesnt matter what)
Make sure that shadow / 3D settings are not applied to it and then right
click and choose "set autoshape defaults"

Now try the table again

Did that answer the question / help?

Do you have a shadow applied to the text placeholder on the slide master?
