Shadow property
 

Hi,
I have a workbook on which the default property of embedded drawing
shapes exhibit the shadow property in some form. While I can disable the
shadow property on drawing shapes, this has also affected VB controls such as
buttons, text boxes, and labels. I can't seem to turn off the shadow
property on these controls. When I enter VB design mode and attempt to
change the shadow property from True to False, I receive an error...."Unable
to set the Shadow property of the OLEObject class." I get the same error if
I try from code....
sheets("sheet2").lblTimerOnOff.shadow = false. I'm looking for help in how
to set the global default setting for any shapes to be "no shadow" and/or how
to solve the issue on an individual control element basis.

Thanks much.

At some point you right clicked a shape with a shadow and selected Set
AutoShape Defaults by accident. Select a shape without a shadow and do it
again.
