Nope. No one can give deatiled instructions based on a single sentence.

Basic instructions... add a new stroke via the Appearance panel. Then move that stroke below the other appearance items in the panel.

2. in the Appearance Panel highlight the group

3. then from the Apopearnce panels flyout select to add an new stroke

If you have raster image in this equattion that protrudes beyond the edge of the art then you need a shape behind it that is the same exact shape and size of the image.

OK sorry, I am very new to all the abilities of Illustrator, I apologize. Basically I have a sponsors logo and I am placing it on pre-designed eps number plate which has a background very dark as is the logo. I am self taught and I know I can add a white ouline to the logo, I just do not know all the steps, so I would need a good detail as to how this is done. Sorry I really am new to this and working in an older than current Illustrator CS2. If this does not help what can I add to help someone help me?

I am still trying all your instructions but due to my ignorance I don't understand the lingo too well. If it is really not too much trouble I would love to see a small video. Thank You so much for being so helpful and understanding.
