      Hi everyone, I am setting up a graphic style which I will apply to some text and would love to keep it live. Here's the problem at the moment I have a basic piece of text on a blue background. The appearance of the text has a black stroke of 1pt (under characters(outside)) with a transform applied (Hor=0.2mm Wid=-0.2mm). Below this I have another stroke of red at 2pt with the same transform. I would like to somehow punch out the red stroke below with the black stroke to show the blue background through the type, is this possible?

      I can easily achieve this with pathfinder if I outline the fonts ect.. But like I said I would love to keep this live..
