Re: Drop shadow for 3d page effect

I modified this from somewhere - most likely an example form InfopathDev or Microsoft sample/example site.

It's extra long to make sure it would fit any of my forms - and I couldn't use tile because then I couldn't have the 'top' of the image.

It's intended for A4 forms oriented to the left of the view - table with of 630 (Infopath default) sits a form right in the middle pretty well.

If you wanted Landscape, you could modify accordingly in a paint program, or if you go the extra mile and put a 'bottom' to the page as well after you finish your form layout.

I did see that one, but unfortunately it wasn't what I was looking for. It was pretty interesting though. Think of a square from photo shop that has a drop shadow and the text is within the square. That video you are referencing opened up a few nice idea's. I love seeing that kind of creativity.

Drop shadow for 3d page effect

Is there a way in the form to produce a drop shadow effect so that it looks like a floating page?
