How do I add a shadow around an Excel table / object

[Roxanne]

I inserted an Excel worksheet into one of my Powerpoint 2007 slides (inserted
via Insert>Object>Microsoft Office Excel Worksheet). How do I create a shadow
effect around this Excel table? When I right click and select "Format Object"
I do not get the same box with the option for "Shadow" as I would if I would
have inserted a Shape and right clicked on "Format Shape".

Draw a box the same size as the object you want to have a shadow for. Add the
shadow you want to the box and place behind the worksheet. That's how I do
it. Maybe a better idea will pop up.

I don't have 2007 available right this second to check, but I'm thinking
that when you select the object, the Drawing Tools Format tab should be
available on the ribbon. Click it, then Shape Effects, then Shadow....

Problem is that Shadow and Reflection are the only two available for the
object and they won't apply. Works for tables though.
