In this video, I show you how to print just the outline of text in a Microsoft Word document by setting an outline color and changing the font color to white. You can also bold the text or increase the weight of the outline to make the outline a bit bolder.

Here’s a quick outline of the steps covered in my video above:

  • Highlight the text you want to change
  • On the Home tab in the font section, click on the “text effects and typography” icon – it’s the blue outlined A – then click on outline and choose the outline color you want
  • Then click on the dropdown arrow next to the font color icon and change the font color to white

Unless you have a printer that can print with white ink, it shouldn’t matter what color paper you print this on – the printer should ignore the white font and only print the outline color.

If the outline isn’t dark enough, you can bold the text (ctrl + b) or go back to “text effects and typography”, click on “weight” and increase the weight (size) of the outline.
