How to put a White Border Around Text?

[Stitch Up]

Hi guys

I'm somewhat embarrassed asking this question as I know I've done it several times before - I blame it on age!

A local fast food takeaway asked us to produce some polo shirts for them. A simple text logo on left breast with a larger one on the rear. We plan using CAD-CUT heat pressed textile vinyl on black polos.

This is the design - just text:


What they want is a thin white border around the text to accentuate it on a black background.

I've created the text in Coreldraw but can't for the life of me remember how to create the white border/contour!!

Can someone remind me please

I'll try and attach the vector of the text.

Cheers

John

Same way as you would to put a cut line around each letter only make the line colour white and the thickness as much as you need.

I've had a few senior moments myself this week, it got so bad I forgot my telephone number for home, the only number I remembered was the shop number.

I really struggled with that for a day or so and just ran out of time! Just after I posted and likely embarrassed myself, I remembered!!! :redface:

Anyway, got there in the end

Thanks for doing that. Fortunately I had a flash of inspiration and all of a sudden remembered how to do it as it's something I've done so many times before! :redface:
