PostHeaderIcon How can I use Adobe Illustrator to create a vector drawing of some text with white borders?

I’m new to using Illustrator to create vector graphics saved as an EPS file. What I have is some white text that has a red border around each letter. When I select all the text, then go to the type menu and choose "create outlines", each letter is outlined as one object. Shouldn’t the white outline be one object, and the solid red color inside the outline be another? Just don’t want to send the EPS file to the printing company and have trouble.

Thanks for the help!

    There should be an options setting on your text, where you can set the red outlines to be white.

    If what you are trying to create is just the outline of letters, with an outline inside and outside, then what you need is a hollow font, or set for "no fill".
