How do I apply the same drop shadow to multiple objects?

I found a thread telling me to use the Clone Effect under the Effect menu but I can't select anything in either Clone or Copy Effect. All options are greyed out. So, how do I use it? I've tried selecting the object, just the drop shadow and both the object and drop shadow together but I'm not given the option to copy or clone. BTW, I'm using X7.

  • You cannot clone or copy effect on multiple objects at a time. You may have to select the object on which you wish to copy the effect and go to Effects > Copy effect and choose the desired effect to get an arrow to be clicked on the object from where you need to copy the effect. Process for cloning an effect is same.
    BTW you will find the options grey out if 1) There is no object available with effect applied to it and can be copied to another object. 2) Multiple objects are selected which need to be applied with an effect.
