I am using PSP6 and I would like to create white text with a black outline.
Any advice would be very welcome.

With thanks,

Gerry

I've done this before by creating the text in black as a raster layer.

Duplicate the layer and select the new layer and the duplicated text.

Contract the selection by a few pixels and flood fill the new smaller selection
with white. Hope this helps :-)

Create the text as a vector using any colour you like. After you have the
text sized and postioned to suit, change to the vector selection tool. Click
on the text with this to select it then right click and use "Change text to
curves > As single shape". Now double click on the text to open the vector
proprties box. Change the Style to "Stroked and Filled" and change the line
style and fill style to suit.

All the best

In Google Presentations, use Word Art - it lets you change the text outline color different from fill color

Type the text twice: Once black/bold and another white/unbold. Send the black text backwards and lay the white text on top.

That wont' work, they letters will all be spaced differently and won't even be close to outlines on anything but perhaps the first letter.
