Giving text a raised effect

[lavaghman]

Hi,
any hints or tips on how to give my text a raised effect so that it stands out. I'm puting text on a colourful backgroup and i need to make the text more easily ledegible as some of the backgroud colour is too close to the colour of the text.....is my only other option to use a drop shadow??.....i think the raised lettering would look far cooler in this instance but i'm always willing to take on-board any suggestions!

Any help much appreciated, John Mac

I'm not at my computer with CorelDraw, but you could use the Extrude functions for text to give it a 3D look, or perhaps fill the text with a blend to make it stand out more.
