Fonts in Word
Hi, I have recently added 'Newborough' font in Word. The letters are all black but I would like to print the outline only. Is this possible? If so, how can I do this?

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?
