Fonts in Word
Hey Ernie25 ,
I downloaded this font to ensure my solution would work and here's what I did:
- Highlight the text you want to change
- On the Home tab in the font section, click on the "text effects and typography" icon - it's the blue outlined A - then click on outline and choose the outline color you want
- Then click on the dropdown arrow next to the font color icon and change the font color to white
Unless you have a printer that can print with white ink, it shouldn't matter what color paper you print this on - the printer should ignore the white font and only print the outline color.
If the outline isn't dark enough, you can bold the text (ctrl + b) or go back to "text effects and typography", click on "weight" and increase the weight (size) of the outline.
I made a short video explaining how to do this as well: https://youtu.be/ctPBzdRQbaA
I hope this was helpful!
- In an automatic form I want to add an 'outline' to words with certain font in all the document at once! Can you help please?
I managed to do it!
1. You highlight something with the font and format you want to change to text effects and typography, outline text.
2.Go to editing and choose SELECT and immediately SELECT TEXT WITH SIMILLAR FORMATTING and click.
It will take few seconds and all the words with that formatting in your document will be highlighted.
3. Go to the icon of TEXT EFFECTS AND TYPOGRPHY click choose OUTLINE and the color... if you want to do other things you can do them now without loosing your highlighted words.
And all will be changed in a click!!!!Hi Gloria,
I'm glad you found a solution. You could also use Find and Replace to do this.In the future, when seeking help, it is best to post a new question rather than add your question to one that has already been answered. See:
That is because you can frame what comes to the attention of the volunteers who answer questions (the title), and give information specific to your system that may be needed to answer, and because questions already answered get less attention from people answering, who have limited time.
