Impress - can't turn off shadows

Lalila · December 16, 2021, 8:26am

I’m using Impress 7.2.2.2.
Objects show shadowing.
I right click > edit style > shadows > turn off.
Nothing changes.
I check again, right click > edit style > shadows are turned off

I don’t see any three dots. Nevertheless, here it goes: a.odp (33.8 KB)
OS: Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS

This is another typical example. I assume that you have taken the image from a MS-Office file (or other source). There is always the danger that formatting is not taken over according to the ODF standard.

Workaround possibilities:

select image and choose Format>Delete direct formatting in the menu.
select image and in the sidebar at Properties ( Ctrl + F5 ) uncheck “Shadow”.

Select image and choose menu Format - Shadow.

Ctrl+Shift+M is the same that Clear Direct Formatting.

Version 7.1.8.1.

Yes, the image was taken from a MS Office document.
All solutions work. Thanks to both of you!
