At the request of, or challenge from I should say, Jeff Harrison - I have added an extra feature to the above macro. If you run the macro and press the Create Inner Shadow button you get a black inner shadow, or white if the White Shadow checkbox was ticked.
NEW: Pressing the button with a PLUS sign on it expands the macro interface and provides a button which opens the colour picker dialog. From there you can choose a custom colour for the inner shadow. After choosing your colour press the Apply Inner Shadow button next to the custom colour button to create your inner shadow. I was even kind enough to use the Americanized spelling of the word colour: i.e. color
Please excust the over-compressed video...here is the macro in action (the macro itself is attached):
nice!

Messieurs Jeff, Jack et Joe,
thank you kindly for your positive feedback, that's the kind of stuff which motivates me to write more macros. I feel happy that I managed to make something which you guys found helpful. Afterall, you guys are helping people in here all the time and I think that is great!
Best regards,Brian.
Thank you Brian,
It is a pleasure to use your macros. If everyone was willing to give so generously like you, our world would be completely different.
Thank you Brian! You've made a good thing even better!
Hi Halamisha/Bahnsen,
thank you very much for your kind words. Much appreciated.
ooooh, very, very nifty Brian...................definitely a winner, I love it!
Thank you!
Diane and Louis,
thank you very much for your kind words! Jeff picked up an issue when trying to use the macro on grouped shapes, so I will try to fix that one up tonight.
Kudo to Brian, if I visit Melcourne I will certainly go thanks you. You make that world better, true
Would be nice to have in the property bar.

Thanks Asterix,
your compliments are appreciated. I still need to fix up the issue with grouped shapes, but I won't be able to get onto that until tonight.
Hi everyone,
attached is the same InnerShadow macro previously posted, but pops up a message to let you know grouped objects are not supported at this current time if you try to run it on a group of objects. If you are aware that the macro does not work with groups (at the moment) then there is probably no need to change the macro you already have. I took the easy way out (just for now) on that one because I spent the time making something else.
Did I ever tell you that making one object sit to another in an aligned fashion is a snap?
Just in case it wasn't obvious enough, 1 represents the first shape selected and 2 the second shape selected.
Hi Brian,
Inner Shadow: If the objects aro NOT groupped, the effect CAN be applied to them with no problems.
