Well... when I first started using Xara, I was in a time crunch.

To create a slight outline of text, which is a little thicker on the top and left side of the letters... it was much easier to simply duplicate the text in black... stretch it a little taller and slightly wider... then put the orginal color text on the front... creating the effect I was looking for.

I need to work on learning the text tools... they are not as user friendly or "obvious" to me as I had hoped they would be.
