Can you stroke text?

[Guest_imported]

I've never known how to do this in Quark but I've been using it for years. One cool thing I've noticed about InDesign is it's very clearly possible to stroke text. For instance, I want to put some black text over a photo of varying shades of grey. If I put a white stroke around the text, it still shows clearly over the dark parts of the photo. Is there a way to do this in Quark 4 or even 5? Thank you for the help

InDesign steals some of Illustrator's capabilities, including some of the special effects type handling.
To do something similar in Quark, you might try converting a line of text to an outline (Quark 4.11) and stroking that. This isn't great for live text or sub-headline sizes however.
You could also create a text block in Illustrator, stroke that, and then import it on top of your photo.

I've done that before (covert text). Thank you very much for answering. I was just making sure that I wasn't just dense. If you could do that one thing, I'd be so stoked about staying with Quark. Many of the things people complain about in Quark vs. InDesign, I don't even care about but I would so love to stroke text. Ohhh wellll....
