Hi Jack,
I'm guessing that the text that needs the shadow effect is either a title in a cover page, or a large title starting a new section in your document. Ideally, the title should require a new column or a new page. This will allow full control over where the title will occur.

You must create a special master page that will be selected when the title occurs within the flow. You also need a background text frame behind the template (flow) text frame where the title text will happen.

The background frame should be large enough to fit an exact duplicate (in size too) of the titles you can expect to find in the xml flow. It should also be slightly displaced with respect to the template frame; say lower and to the right.

You then create a "Running H/F" variable that will replicate the title text with identical font and size, but with a different fill.

This is the simplest case scenario. Different situations would require a totally different approach.

Regards,
Juan
