If you're still interested, I'm sure John would be glad to answer any questions you have before…"

CYW replied to Scott Milbert's discussion Corel - Specify colors for 2-step contour"No, you don't, Scott
As I said above, before you Ctrl+K, you can edit your name and the contour will change with the text....so you don't really have to start with step one
As long as you duplicate that first name, you'll be set to…"
Scott Milbert replied to Scott Milbert's discussion Corel - Specify colors for 2-step contour"Thanks for the reply! I wholeheartedly agree that the contour is much better than the outline (in my limited experience!).
I'm trying to find a cost-effective (time = cost) way to build names and numbers for teams. I can…"

CYW replied to Scott Milbert's discussion Corel - Specify colors for 2-step contour"Before you Ctrl+K to break your contour group apart, you should be able to select the text and go up to Text/Edit text to change the name and the contour with following the new name
That's the easy part
