Can I create fonts drawn as outlined in Word 16 for Mac?





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}

I'm trying to make some colouring in pages for my daughter, and want to make a large letter per page for her to colour in.



On Windows I could select a letter, choose font and there's an outline option that I can check.



I can't see this on Microsoft Word for Mac - 16.23 - Office 365 Subscription.



Is anyone aware of ways to achieve this?

    Are you using PowerPoint or Word and what license is applied? The same apps behave differently based on licensing now. An edit to show the version of a specific app might help us help you.

If you have a problem with Word, Apple's standard TextEdit or Pages lets you do this via Format > Font > Outline.

    I'm stuck on Word 2011. If I choose the Format | Font menu option I get a dialog box which has, at the bottom, a button labelled Text Effects. Pressing that opens another dialog where setting Text Fill to No Fill and Text Line to black results in an outlined character.



    I don't have a later version of Word to test this on, do let us know if this works for your version.

    • This is, strictly speaking, a different thing that achieves a similar effect. (Combining this with font outlines can, iirc, give you an outline of an outline.) But it should be available on later versions, in a different menu.

    The version of Word that you have should include WordArt, which allows you to do outline text.



    For example:




    • Word 2016 for Mac: on the Insert tab, click WordArt.


    • Word 2011 for Mac: on the Document Elements tab, under Text Elements, click WordArt, and then click the WordArt that you want.
