In the text properties palette, you can apply a text shadow using the button all the way on the right at the top of the "Typography" section. You have to click on "Typography" to open up that section (See picture)
If you prefer to edit text in the story editor, it's the same icon as the text properties palette (an uppercase T, with the little arrow for the dropdown), it's located right next to the outline text button in the row with all the other effects.
Quote from: Lynn on Today at 02:49:07 AMI don't know if this is a helpful method of comparing the user interfaces to anyone but me, but I made a PDF where I put the 1.6 and 1.7 palettes side-by-side and color coded where all the sections moved to: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-QlgVZkg1HED_m9XaIzwUYpX6mfUOWS9
and my macine cannot handle the latest LibreOffice (but I do have the old OpenOffice.) I have a Win7/10 machine. I am unable to download latest version of Google drive (crap computer but too broke to get something new and frankly, this thing ain't broke.) I do have word on my cellphone. (It's a workaround thing.) However I have found that scribus formats the way I want: force justified without rivers, accepts tabs/indents for a uniform layout. The layouts I need are for a novel. No need for complex layouts.
