This feature will be in 2010, meanwhile you can use the softened edge in Word,
copy/paste.

I can only find a hard edged drop shadow in Publisher 2007. I would prefer to
use the soft edge vignetted drop shadow that is one of several available in
Word 07. Is this type of drop shadow available but hidden in Publisher or
can it be imported from Word?
