    You would either need to use a shaded font, or you could use 2 text objects with exactly the same text, one with black text and the other gray and superimpose them slightly offset from each other. That will give you a shadow effect.

    What is your definition of "text shaded"?

    You can add a Drop Shadow for the report object or set its Background color (or both).

    If you want a shadowed text box, then brucevde has answered your question. If you want the actual text to have a shadow, then no, I don't think there's any other way.
    Superimposing two text objects to create a shadow effect is easy.
