Bug ID: 99400
Summary: FORMATTING; separate outline color
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Impress

One-slide presentation showing desired feature: characters in one color,
outlined in a different color
This is a "would-be-nice" in Impress and probably in other components as well.
In order to emphasize and highlight some characters on my slides, I like to
format with the same font color as other characters but highlighted in a
different color. The attached example presentation shows normal green
characters, green characters with the "outlined" effect selected (which means
they are white with green outlines), and green characters with white outlines.
That third choice is something that Impress cannot easily do at present. I do
it manually by this procedure:
1. Select the box containing the desired text, copy, and paste, so that there
are now two copies, exactly aligned.
2. Select one copy (select all characters), choose "Character" from the context
menu, change the font color to white, and select "outlined."
3. With the box containing the new white copy selected, choose "Arrange" from
the context menu and move it back. Now only the white outline is visible
around the normal characters.
This is tedious. It seems to me that a new dropdown "Outline color" (and maybe
also "Shadow color") could be added to the Font Effects tab of the Character
(formatting) box. The Automatic choice would be white outlined with the font
color, while any other choice would draw the characters in the font color,
outlined with the selected choice.
