Common questions about WPS Text Shadow usually focus on effect differences, projector display, and readability; this FAQ includes 3 common questions and a glossary.
FAQ
What is the difference between text shadow and text box shadow?
- Text shadow is applied directly to the text strokes, so each character shows a shadow effect.
- Text box shadow is applied to the whole text box container, which looks more like an object shadow.
- You can use the two effects separately or combine them based on the slide design.
Can the shadow effect be displayed during projection?
- Text Shadow can usually be displayed during slide show playback and projection.
- If the projector brightness is low, the shadow layering may be less obvious.
- It is recommended to run a projection preview before the formal presentation.
Why is shadow not recommended for small text?
- Small text already has thinner strokes, and adding shadow may reduce clarity.
- On information-dense pages, shadow may make body text harder to read.
- It is recommended to use shadow mainly for titles, slogans, or other larger text that needs emphasis.
