I am sorry but in MS Office 2007, you will not get a separate option for
shadow.
However, there are few new options available which can make your task more
attractive.

Just select the cell or cells you want to apply the effect to.
Then from the Home menu (or say bar), click on Cell Styles.. from the
dropdown which appears, select the style you want to apply.

You can also go by a different and more customized method.

Just select the cell(s).
Then "Right-Click" on the menu, and then click on "Format Cells".

I hope this will help you.

Anyone know how to add a shadow around a group of cells in excel. I can add a
shadow and 3d effects to a shape or object, but not to the border of a group
of cells. This was possible to do in office 2003.
