Applying strokes, fills, effects, and styles to text

You can apply strokes, fills, effects, and styles to text, like any other object. You can apply any or all to the same text block. You can apply any style in the Styles panel to the text, even if it is not a text style.

Text remains editable. Strokes, fills, effects, and styles update automatically in response to editing.
