Shadows don't move in custom animations

In PP 2007, when I create text and then apply a shadow, the shadows don't
move with my text in custom animation like they did of Office 2003. What
happened or what am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Craig
 
I just purchased PPt 2007 and have experienced the same thing.

The shadow just appears in place - followed by the correct text animation.

This seems to be a serious problem.

Although I can see where it might be a useful feature if both could be
available.

This is when you animate by word or by letter, right?

To resolve it, use the shadows in Text Effects (the WordArt Styles group)
instead of the shadows in the Shape Effects.

Apparently the issue is that Shape Effects are part of the shape, so, even
if they are visible on the text, they don't animate with the text. So you
need to use a Text Effect instead.
