Drop Shadow function not active

[Ken Seguine]

The drop shadow function is greyed out on the drawing
toolbar. I've tried selecting a variety of image formats
and it does not work with any of them although it is
active for shapes and text boxes.

Thanks for your help!

Try inserting an AutoShape Box on the page and see if that enables the Shadow Style button on the drawing toolbar.

You are better off doing it with photo editing software.
