Hello all.

I'm having a problem in screen show mode with PPT 2007, where you have the
text build by 1st level paragraphs and the drop shadow is present/does not
animate during the entire build.

I can reproduce the problem easily in a new file. This also happens with
all of Vista's effects turned off.

This is not duplicated in the stand alone PPT 2007 viewer, only in the
actual editor during a screen show.

You need to apply a text shadow. You've applied a shape shadow, which has
applied itself to the text because there's no fill or line in the shape.
That's why it doesn't animate the way you expect -- it's not the right kind
of shadow.

I uploaded a Jing thing that should help you understand the difference.
