Calligraphic pen stroke
Neon stroke
The appearance of a parallel stroke applied to text might not appear as you expect,
especially on characters with hollow centers (such as “O” and “P”) and characters with tight
corners or paths that meet or cross (including “G” and “X”).
Removing a neon or parallel stroke from text (by choosing “no stroke”) does not remove the stroke
entirely. Instead, the stroke reverts to a black 1-pt pen stroke.
Applying preset strokes
Using presets can help you save time and ensure graphic consistency.
Using the Presets palette
The Presets palette contains preset strokes and attributes that you can apply to objects and the
current stroke. Use the Presets palette to apply strokes to objects and save strokes in files that you
can later load into the palette.
To open the Presets palette:
Do one of the following:
Click the Strokes icon in the Toolbox. Drag the pop up palette away to see the full palette.
Choose Window | Palettes | Presets.
