Question:
I have several triangle symbols on my schedule. That said, I only want to show a shadow on a few of them. Is it possible to do that without having to change all of them? I can’t find the option when I click on the triangles that I want to change.

Answer:
Symbol shadows are set up in the toolbox. Since you only have a few symbols which need a shadow, it will be easy to remove the shadow from the currently used symbol and then add a new one which has a shadow. Here are the steps to do what you want:
- Double-click the toolbox symbol currently being used.
- On the Color/Pattern/Shadow/Size tab
Show Shadow on Symbol. - Right-click the row in the toolbox which has the triangle symbol being used.
- Choose Copy Selected Row.
- Right-click an unused row in the toolbox and choose Paste Copied Row over Selected.
- On the new row, double-click the triangle symbol.
Show Shadow on Symbol. - Next, while holding down the Shift key, click each symbol which needs a shadow.
- Click the new toolbox symbol.
