As of CS3,drop shadows are handled via the various (fill/stroke/content/all)<br />transparency settings. This should give you an idea:<br /><br />tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"<br />    tell active document<br />        tell page item 1<br />            tell transparency settings<br />                set properties of drop shadow settings to {mode:drop, use<br />global light:true, opacity:80.0, spread:20.0, blend mode:multiply,<br />noise:5.0, x offset:"1p", effect color:"Black"}<br />            end tell<br />        end tell<br />    end tell<br />end tell<br /><br /><br />-- <br />Shane Stanley <[email protected]>
