+\section{Usage}
+The shadowtext package introduces a new command, namely the {\tt $\backslash$shadowtext} command. This is a box
+that adds a shadow behind text. Its usage is simple. The following code and its output illustrates the usage. 
+
+\begin{minipage}{\textwidth}
+\begin{multicols*}{2} 
+{\footnotesize
+\begin{verbatim}
+\shadowtext{This is a shadowtext}
+\end{verbatim}}
+
+\shadowtext{This is a shadowtext}
+\end{multicols*}
+\end{minipage}
+
+\section{Changing the position of the shadow}
+The position of the shadow consists of two components: a horizontal offset and a vertical offset. 
+The package offers two ways of changing the position of the shadow. The first and easiest way of 
+changing the position is by using the {\tt $\backslash$setshadowoffset} command. This commands
+sets the horizontal and vertical offset simultaneously. For example:
+
+\begin{minipage}{\textwidth}
+\begin{multicols*}{2} 
+{\footnotesize
+\begin{verbatim}
+\shadowoffset{2pt}
+\shadowtext{This is a shadowtext}
+\end{verbatim}}
+
+\shadowoffset{2pt}
+\shadowtext{This is a shadowtext}
+\end{multicols*}
+\end{minipage}
+
+Alternatively, one may use the commands {\tt shadowoffsetx} and {\tt shadowoffsety} to independently change
+the horizontal and vertical offset. For example:
+
+\begin{minipage}{\textwidth}
+\begin{multicols*}{2} 
+{\footnotesize
+\begin{verbatim}
+\shadowoffsetx{1pt}
+\shadowoffsety{4pt}
+\shadowtext{This is a shadow text}
+\end{verbatim}}
+
+\shadowoffsetx{1pt}
+\shadowoffsety{4pt}
+\shadowtext{This is a shadow text}\\
+\phantom{}
+\end{multicols*}
+\end{minipage}
+
+\section{Changing the color of the shadow}
+The color of the shadow may be change by using the {\tt setshadowcolor} command.\footnote{Internally, the 
+package uses the {\tt $\backslash$color} command from the color package to set its color} 
+For example, the following code adds a blue shadow:
+
+\begin{minipage}{\textwidth}
+\begin{multicols*}{2} 
+{\footnotesize
+\begin{verbatim}
+\shadowoffset{2pt}
+\setshadowcolor{0.66, 0.66, 1}
+\shadowtext{This is a shadow text}
+\end{verbatim}}
+
+\shadowoffset{2pt}
+\shadowcolor{0.66, 0.66, 1}
+\shadowtext{This is a shadow text}\\
+\phantom{}
+\end{multicols*}
+\end{minipage}
+
+\section{More examples}
+The following code illustrates how to use shadowtext in more interesting settings:
+
+\definecolor{navy}{rgb}{0,0,0.5}
+
+\begin{minipage}{\textwidth}
+\begin{multicols*}{2} 
+{\footnotesize
+\begin{verbatim}
+\definecolor{navy}{rgb}{0,0,0.5}
+\shadowoffset{1pt}
+\shadowtext{
+   \color{navy}
+   \fontsize{16}{16}\selectfont
+   Large!}
+\end{verbatim}}
+
+\color{navy}
+\shadowcolor{0.8, 0.8, 1}
+\shadowoffset{2pt}
+\shadowtext{\fontsize{16}{16}\selectfont \textbf{Large!}}\\
+\phantom{}\\

+\end{multicols*}

+   1 & 2 \\
+   3 & 4 \\
+   \hline
+   \end{tabular}
+}
+\end{verbatim}}
+
+\shadowoffset{1pt}
+\shadowtext{
+   \begin{tabular}{|l|l|}

+   1 & 2 \\
+   3 & 4 \\
