Add border/outline to text

[davidm6207557]

I'm new to Premiere Elements and can't find a way to do something I'd think would be simple: add an outline or border to a text box.  I do Text / Classic / Default, and drag the text box over; I can then adjust the letters but there isn't any button or setting for a border.

There's an option for Shapes, which can put a square around the text. From there, there might be something possible with Color Properties and/or Stroke but if even if I could figure something out, it seems enormously complex for such a simple task.

Am I missing something?

I've told you how to stroke (outline) a shape. To make the fill of this shape transparent, open its Color Properties, select Fill and then click the / button on the Color Picker.
