I have been unable to reproduce what appears to be a very simple text
effect with PageStream 1.8, and would appreciate help in finding out
what I am doing incorrectly.

The manual gives an example of a text object which is duplicated numerous
times with a small x and y offset to create a 3-dimensional effect.  The
instructions say to change the attribute of the topmost copy to "outline"
so that it will appear white with the other copies forming a shadow.

When I do the above, the outlined copy appears to be "clear" so that the
background copies show through, i.e., the effect doesn't work.  After
several tries it appears that I just don't know how to make an object
"opaque white", so that it obscures other objects behind it.  I have tried
to change the "fill" parameters, but am apparently not putting together
the correct combinations.  Can someone please straighten me out?  (I'm sure
it's trivial.)
