I've made two text frames, one layered over the other, with the lower one offset to one side and down a bit. The upper frame has the text, maybe with different outline and fill colours, and the lower one with the same text, but in pale grey. A bit of manipulation got quite a satisfying result, though it's not quite the 'soft' shadow you're after. Maybe you could make the lower layer a bitmap with blurred edges. -- Stewart H.
