Shadows on text (not the enclosing box)

[David C. Kasprzyk]

Dear ucfgoofy:

Unfortunately, there is no way to currently do this in OnmiGraffle.  I 
will however file a feature request for this to be looked into as we 
continue with OmniGraffle's development.  I will admit that text 
shadowing would be a very visually appealing addition to OmniGraffle.

If you have any additional comments or questions please feel free to 
let me know and I will be happy to assist you.

Sincerely,

David Kasprzyk
OmniGraffle Project Coordinator
