Yes, you can add a drop shadow in InDesign. To do so, you'll need to begin by selecting the object or text that you'd like to add a drop shadow to. From there, click on the Effects icon in the top menu bar. You should see a drop down list of effects that you can apply to the selected object or text, one of which will be the drop shadow. Click on this, and a dialogue box will open for you to make further adjustments to the look of the drop shadow. In this dialogue box you can adjust the settings for color, opacity, blur, angle, etc. to achieve the desired drop shadow look. If you're unsure of what settings to use, you can create a few test versions until you get the desired look.

Yes, you can add a drop shadow effect to any object or text in InDesign. Here's how to do it:

Select the object or text that you want to add a drop shadow to.
Go to the "Effects" panel, which is typically located in the right-hand side of the InDesign interface.
Click on the "Drop Shadow" option in the Effects panel.
In the Drop Shadow dialog box, you'll see a number of options that allow you to customize the effect. You can adjust parameters such as the distance, size, opacity, and angle of the shadow.
Once you've set the parameters to your liking, click "OK" to apply the drop shadow effect to your object or text.

One thing to keep in mind when using drop shadows in InDesign is that they can have a subtle or dramatic impact on the overall look and feel of your design. So it's important to be mindful of the effect you're trying to achieve and make adjustments accordingly. Additionally, be aware that drop shadows can also impact printing and exporting, so it's a good idea to preview your design in different formats to ensure the desired result.
