OK, I really need to figure out how to do this but I don't know how. I have white text, with a gray stroke, and then over that a black stroke. I acheived it easily in Photoshop but I don't know how to do it with InDesign. In Photshop I used the normal stroke layer effect for the first stroke and then used drop shadow with 100% spread. InDesign has drop shadow but I can't figure out if I can change the spread. Any ideas, workarounds? Thanks

p.s. I need this soon

I'm not really sure but you may be able to put a wide grey stroke on the type, then copy and paste a copy directly over it, set that stroke to be narrower and black. That's kind of the old way to do it with illustrator.
