I was quite elated to learn that Impress allows outlining of any font
and, regardless of its color, automatically changes it to white with a
black (default) outline. Subsequently changing the font color [only]
changes the color of the outline/border. This would make it so much
easier to view hymn lyrics on slides with a background picture
containing both dark areas and highlights. Hope my grammar is correct
there and easy to follow.
Problem is that my church uses a laptop with Win-XP and PowerPoint on
it. Evidently, PP makes no allowance for the outlining and fonts which
looked absolutely beautiful in Impress -- even when saved as ppt files
-- are merely the font in whatever color it's set to with no outlining
when shown in PP. I don't know if the church will let me install OOo on
it, and even if they did, the slideshow has to be imported into a church
projection program called Media Shout. I have my doubts that it will
import an odp. Would anybody know about that? Alternatively, does
anybody know where I could just download a white, Arial- or Tahoma-type
font with a dark outline? I've thought that I had found several, but
they only look white on the website in Firefox and when used, they're
hollow. That won't work.
Any ideas? Is this about as clear as mud?
