need help with two color outline without the two colors touching

[troyr 4]

can anyone help me with doing a two color outline without the two colors touching eachothere? i hope i am explaining this right.also is there a way to do two colors so each letter of the word is not touching the next letter?

I know in Flexi I can do it either by setting a space between them or add a transparent outline in between the colors....

IN SB add an offset to the outline that will space them away from each other....

Here's what I feel you are intending to accomplish ---

In the first example, the letters are spaced apart ("kerned") normally as you typed them.

Applying the outline will result in touching, due to the kerning.

The second example provides the result you seek.

You'll need to select the word(s) and then use the EDIT menu, choosing Edit Text and then dragging that little black box in the lower right corner of the text, expanding the distance between letters. (This is SignBlazer's Kern manipulation feature)

Now, when you choose the Outline function, things will work out just as you wanted.
