Editing text question

I'm using coral photo paint / coral draw.
How do I use white lettering ? I need it to have a dark / black edge on the letters to make them stand out on the page.
I cant seem to find the right text tool to do this :confused:

    Can't help with the outline - nearest I got was one of the Niagara fonts (guess you'd need an outline font).

    To get white lettering, you just need to click on on of the colour buttons at the extreme right edge of the screen when the text tool is active (mine is version 8 btw)

    Download realdraw pro
    you can run it as a trial and save without restriction it has one of the best set of tools for what you wish to do, which by the sounds of it sounds like embossing. Alternatively look for any photoshop tutorials there are plenty of free ones. if you still wish to use coral here goes, write your text the correct size and make sure the infil is white. whilst your text is still selected look at the top for the word effects, select 3d effects, then cut out. It will be the case of trial and error to get the desired effect including the use of background lighting to make your letters stand out even more, take a look at real draw pro, it is far more easier.
