How do I draw a shadowed rectangle?
Ciao, you have to select your rectangle with a click and then: Format > Object > Area . Check Use shadow in Shawow tab.
If my answer helped you, vote it with

Edit: Please see my attaches: Test.odt
Charlie, I have a 2D rectangle drawn but Format does not offer “object,” just “text box and shape” and “frame and object.” Both are greyed out. What now?
Did you select the object?
