I can't see the border around an object.
Borders might seem to disappear in the following circumstances:
I changed the fill, border, shadow, or 3-D effect, but when I draw an object, I get the old settings.
The default style is being applied to the new object. To change the default settings for new objects, select an object that has the attributes you want. On the Drawing toolbar, click Draw, and then click Set AutoShape Defaults.
I can't add a shadow to my text.
When you want to add a shadow to specific text—for example, a heading in a table—select the text and then click Text Shadow on the Formatting toolbar. Use the Shadow tool on the Drawing toolbar to add a shadow to objects.
I added a 3-D effect to my object and the object shadow disappeared.
You can't apply both a shadow and a 3-D effect to the same object.
When I change the fill color of an object with a shadow or 3-D effect, the shadow or 3-D effect doesn't change color.
Changing the fill color only affects the face of the object. To change the color of the shadow or 3-D effect, use the Shadow or 3-D tool on the Drawing toolbar.
