Can I change Word font so that letters are 'outlined', like a stencil?

Hi, I want to be able to type out a word on microsoft Word, choose my font, and then be able to change it so that what I have is an outline of the letters, rather than a solid black letter. Anyone know how I can do this? Can I change Word font so that letters are 'outlined', like a stencil?
Yes, for most fonts, select the text you want outlined, right click on it, in the menu that appears, there should be an option called Font. Select it and the font style box will open up. Now you can get to effects like Outline, Emboss, Engrave, etc. And you can select them for the text. It works for most fonts.Can I change Word font so that letters are 'outlined', like a stencil?
You would have to use a specific font for that. These are such fonts. You may be able to pick these or similar up on the Internet.



breabout.ttf, crazlbou.ttf, exotibbo.ttf, gargbchr.ttf, gargbout.ttf, gargbshw.ttf, grilcbo_.ttf, javkbexo.ttf, oprnbsh_.ttf, platbbch.ttf, platbbou.ttf, suprbsh_.ttf, toasvbs_.ttf



the extension being True Type Font.
Depending on your version of Word, go to format%26gt;font%26gt;effects. You'll find outline, emboss and engrave. Try them all in various combinations until you get the appearance you want. It works best with a heavy font like Arial Black.
Easy. Insert the text as Wordart - there's an option there to just have the black outline. Click: Insert %26gt; Wordart %26gt; Click the first option, top left.
Ok. Set the text colour to white, select the text, go into the font dialog and select Outline.



Job done.
