Hi, thanks so very much for your reply 
Im finding it hard to create a "vector" drop shadow like this www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2lgA-zAzE4
So what I was hoping, is out there in the www there is a Graphic Style I can load into Illustrator and just apply to my text.
Im sure by trial and error I can edit the Graphic Style. Im am really only looking for a bog standard grey drop shadow.
I really dont want to use Effect - Stylize - Drop Shadow as it looks good, but I need to outline everything and it then needs to be scaleable to be used in large media like banners so need something that is completely vecor rather than raster (I think its called raster, as I said Im ok but not brilliant in Illustrator)
Many kind thanks
