SYMPTOMS

CAUSE
You can apply 3-D effects to any OfficeArt shape except the following AutoShapes, which have a 3-D appearance by default:

Can

Cube

Bevel

Folder Corner

Smiley Face

Inserted picture

OLE objects



STATUS
This feature is under review and will be considered for inclusion in a future release.
