Hi guys,

I’m sure this must be a very easy question, but I can’t find out how to outline my text - I’ve searched all the panels and tools, but no luck.

Could someone please enlighten me 🙂

kind regards,

Ajit

To be honest!  
You got to do it manually,line by line  
For instance if your there are text which comes as outlines  
If doing it manually try to use the Option Snap to Pixels and Snap to object…that will help ya!

Cheers,
