Adding outlines to your text can be a great way to add more emphasis to your message and make your documents more pop. But don&#8217;t go overboard. It is best to use outlined text in small chunks. If you outline text for long passages in Google Docs, the document may look cluttered and unprofessional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Choose an outline color that contrasts with the text color<\/strong>. Avoid using outline colors that are too similar to text colors. Doing so can make the outline border hard to see. If you are uncertain about what colors to use, white text with black outline is always a safe bet for use in Google Docs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Avoid making the letter too close together.<\/strong> You should leave enough space between each letter, otherwise, it will be difficult to read.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class='code-block code-block-3' style='margin: 8px 0; clear: both;'>\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-7316063008951183\"\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\n<!-- Auto Display Ad -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-7316063008951183\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"3649670004\"\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Outlining text can be a great way to make certain words stand out from the rest of your document.
