Hi. Thanks so much for responding. From your examples the contour is what I am looking for. I should &nbsp;let you know, as if it isn't obvious, that CorelDraw knowledge wise I am a &quot;3&quot; at most.

If I wish to have a character or object such as a &quot;Z&quot; that is purple with a glowing yellow fringe around the entire character, how do I accomplish this? I searched for the word &quot;grow&quot; in help, &nbsp;but there is no reference. I thought that &nbsp;I could take the purple item and duplicate it, then change the color of the duplicate to yellow and grow it to be slightly larger than the original. Maybe I am simplifying something difficult?
