Adding Three-Dimensional Text to a Header Row

To add three-dimensional text to the table's header row, set the TextEffect property to Raised for text with a shadow offset by one pixel to the right and below the text or Inset for text with a shadow offset by one pixel to the left and above the text. Setting the TextEffect property to Flat gives text no effect.
