Try setting the typestyle of the text to outline, and setting the fill for
the text object to nil.  I haven't tried this with Canvas 2.0, but it works
with several other programs.

Nope--that broke with version 2.0. You have to use the Bic copy mode 

(you know, the thing the manual tells you to experiment with to find
out what it does).
