How can I get outline text that has a colored core, rather than transparent?
Article Content: Beginner Author: Geoff Blanthorn
Answer:
Earlier versions of PagePlus (up to PagePlus 6) gave Outline
Text a white fill by default, but the PagePlus 8 default leaves it hollow (transparent)
so that any background will show through. If you want it to be opaque the solution is quite simple:

- Create the text in its own frame, and color it as you wish (I've used yellow in the example , as you can see.)
- Select the frame by clicking on its border, and holding down the Ctrl key drag out a copy using the left
mouse-button (while the cursor is displayed as a 4-way arrow).
- Right-click on one of the frames, and choose Text Format/Character. In the Dialogue (Font tab), check the
Outline box, and choose the color for the outline (black in the example).
- 4 Now select both frames, and align them using Arrange/Align Objects. Send the solid version
(yellow in the example) to the back, and group them.
