Font Question - Need bold white w/black outline

[Bob Green]

Greetings All:

Just a quick question that I'm sure everyone else but me knows. If I am
having words appear atop variable colored backgrounds of varying light and
darkness, I have found outlined fonts really do work best. Shadows on text
can sometimes work, but the outline really does it. I would like to have a
bold white font with a crisp thin black outline around each of the letters.
Is that possible to do with PowerPoint? I have PPT 2007 - PC version.
Thanks in advance.

Bob

Hi Bob

Try this:

Highlight the text
Format Tab
Word Art Styles dropdown (The little arrow)
Here you can set the fill and outline of the text

Hi John:

That works wonderfully! Word Art would have been the last place I would
haved looked. Having worked with PowerPoint sporadically since the 90's, I
have come to equate Word Art with limited selections of very dated blockish
styles. This came out very clean, crisp and perfect for my presentation.
Many thanks for your help!
