Here are images of the literal menu I'm talking about in PPT:

Here's a sample of the result, black text with an orange outline:

In its current state, this CANNOT be done in LibreOffice without resorting to
FontWorks or Intersecting Shapes over a text box. While these methods work
simple tasks, they're too clumsy and time consuming for large amounts of text
across multiple slides (ie song lyrics), especially since I use software to
build my slideshows automatically from plaintext files (pptxgenJS)

I don't mean to be short tempered, but it's frustrating to see how easily
misunderstood this one feature request is. I just want the freedom to change
the outline color and font color to whatever pairing necessary, as well as the
ability to adjust the thickness of that line color. The images above were
pulled from an article written in 2015, as in 6 years ago.
