Recording Macros in Word 2007

I am looking for a way to save shadow formatting for a picture in Word 2007. There is no way to save formatting for pictures that I could find. I was trying to record a macro with the picture’s shadow settings, but my selections in picture formatting don’t show up in the macro. I’m not good with vba code, so all I did was try to have the macro record my key/mouse strokes. Does anyone know how I can record a macro that will record settings for formatting a picture’s shadow? The macro seems to pick up everything *except* the picture formatting. Thanks! Jill
