MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / February 2006PowerPoint should allow text to be outlined in solid black
When using pictures as the background and text on top, it would be nice to be able to have outlined text. PowerPoint should be able to set the thickness and color of the outline. This would increase the legibility of the the text. That's a good idea. Plus all those other 'TV' text effects to make things more legible.

Turns the text into a .png image with a photoshop quality shadow. I then apply a second shadow set at the opposite/negative coordinates (eg -10 by -10) to create an outer glow effect. Text can be reverted to editable PPT text with add-in installed.
