o  Change the text to outlines. (pull-down menu)
o  Make these outlines a composite. (opt-cmd-G)
o  Set the "mask" flag in the "paint" dialog. (cmd-I)
o  Create a vertical black line just to the left of the name.
o  Create a vertical white line just to the right of the name.
o  Blend between the 2 lines. (tool box)
o  Group all these items if you intend to put other graphics
   on the page, as well.
