Drop Shadow - Opposite Direction

[Jason_Heydasch@adobeforums.com]

I've searched the forum for this to no avail...
I want to create a drop shadow in InDesign CS that goes to the upper right or left instead of the lower right as the default does.

How can I go about doing this?

Thanks for any suggestions!

Just change the x an y offsets to negative values.

um... enter negative values in the "offset" box(es)in the drop shadow dialog?

Yeah, I tried to enter negative values before I made the post but when I entered the "-" before the number, InDesign just told me that it was an invalid number.

Thanks, though...to the both of you. Although maybe I was just doing it wrong. Instead of 0.0059, I entered -0.0059 (example). Is that wrong?

Thanks!

While that's a pretty small offset, what you did should work... only other thing I can think of is make sure all your "0's" are zeros and not the letter O...

Maybe someone else can suggest why this is not working for you.
