I am curious why Shadow effects of text are performed on a paragraph
basis, rather than on a character basis.  

There will occasionally be times when a user might want shadowed text in
the middle of a sentance.  Under the current setup, that could only be
accomplished with complicated layering of frames.

All other DTP and Wordprocessing programs that I am aware of consider
shadow effects to be a font property, not a paragraph property.

I think it would be better to allow shadow text to exist within a line.
Is there any reason it was decided to have it this way?
