No, they didn't leave shading out - if you have a Postscript printer, that is.

They just made it tough to find. You need to open Examples.Doc and then
select Install for PostscriptShade. This will install a macro for you.

Problems with this approach are it isn't WYSIWYG, it's not part of the
style mechanism, and there is no support for non-Postscript printers.

BTW, WP shades on the HPLJ printers. Microsoft, are you listening?
