I often need to change the shadow colour of an individual word in a text field. I've never encountered and word processing or imaging app that can't do this on Mac...
Am I missing something?

I currently have to place a blank shape over the word/s and then duplicate the text field. While this isn't too difficult, it is huge hassle if you change the text / colour scheme.

Hi ploth. Would converting the text layer into shape (i.e. make it no longer editable) be an option for you? This way, you'd be able to edit the styles — color, fill, stroke, shadow — of each individual character, separately from the rest of the word.
