✅ Want your text to have both a shadow AND an outline? We’ll show you how in just under a minute.
Canva allows you to apply multiple text effects by duplicating the text and applying different effects to each duplicate, then layering them. This technique enables creating effects like outlines, shadows, and even 3D looks by strategically positioning the duplicated text layers.
Here's a step-by-step breakdown:
1. Start with your text: Select the text you want to modify.
2. Duplicate: Copy and paste the text element to create a second identical layer.
3. Apply effects: Go to the "Effects" panel and choose an effect for each text layer. You can use different effects on each duplicate, or the same effect with different settings.
4. Layer and Position: Carefully position the text layers on top of each other to achieve the desired look. You can adjust the order of layers using the "Position" tool if needed.
5. Adjust and refine: Fine-tune the effect settings (color, intensity, etc.) and the positioning of the layers to perfect your design.
By combining different effects and carefully layering the text elements, you can create visually appealing text effects not directly available in a single "Effects" setting in Canva.
🔥 Plus, stick around to the end for a quick plug for our ConvertMarkz app, which lets you convert Canva designs directly into Adobe InDesign — perfect for pro designers who want more control over their layout.

![Corrupt InDesign Fix - Jacques Dubuc Interview
Corrupt InDesign Fix (Jacques Dubuc interview): Graphic designer, Jacques Dubuc, explains a corrupt InDesign fix from Markzware. After a months work, Jacques’ large InDesign page layout, went corrupt, crashed one day, and wouldnt open. Adobe and its support team were unable to fix his .indd file.
Luckily, Markzware OmniMarkz was able to open and recover his multi-page catalog! We sent Jacques a preview and fixed InDesign layout, within a couple of hours, saving days of time, money, and aggravation!

Corrupt InDesign story and good tips for InDesigners:
David Dilling: Hi everybody! Today, we have a Markzware customer on the zoom here. Jacques DUBOC of Verdie Voyages in France. Jacques had a bad or corrupt InDesign file, and Markzware fixed it! But Jacques maybe first an introduction, who you are and what you do.
Jacques Dubuc: So, Im a graphic designer. With a travel company called Verdie Voyages in France. We are making exotic trips around the world and so we have a website and we do a lot of printed materials, a lot of brochures, which we do in Adobe InDesign. Of course.
And about two weeks ago, we had just finished one of four brochures and the morning, just open my InDesign file, do a PDF for the manager so that we will check the introduction to be sure everything is ok. And then InDesign crashed, nothing to worry. So, I just re-start InDesign. Okay, it says my InDesign file is damaged, nothing to worry, it happens. So, I click OK.
On the morning, Ive done an upgrade of InDesign Creative Cloud on the new MacBook, nothing worked. And then it says, Oh, we are about to treat your InDesign page layout file on our servers, Click OK. OK. And then it says, Oops, we cannot repair it. You will have to redo the project!
David Dilling: Was it also on a Monday morning?
Jacques Dubuc: On the Monday morning? Exactly! So, what did I do? I just down-graded InDesign 2022 to my last version. Weve done the process. Exact same thing, to open a chat with the technical services people of Adobe and just says the same, Just downgrade. Try again and nothing happens. So, they told me to put my InDesign document, my damaged design file, on CreativeCloud and on the cloud. When I did, they said, Oh, we will check it. We will have a fast answer, about 24 hours to check the file.
o, I was afraid that they didnt check, because Adobe, I think has millions of customers. I dont think our job will be the priority. So, I began to search other solutions. So, I looked into the web about solutions for fixing the major corrupted InDesign problems. And I was browsing different industry forums for InDesign, like Reddit and Adobes own forums. Mostly every person said the same things we can check, but nothing.
And, then, I saw a post of a guy who said, Oh, stop it. If you have this kind of problem, you can check Markzware! He saved my life! I remember your company, because, in the past, I was working with QuarkXPress. You already published plugins to convert InDesign to Quark, back then, and now Quark to InDesign.
Markzware does a lot of plugins, so I just came to your website, so that I can send my damaged file (dead InDesign file). So, we pay the small in-take fee, so you can check the file. And we wait, then, about an hour, and now you send me a preview PDF file of my damaged file, fixed, and the last step is to pay the Fixed File fee, which I did.
David Dilling: 99 euros. Yeah.
Jacques Dubuc: And, so, we do that and, then, you give me my IDML (InDesign Markup Language file) and you saved me about, I dont know, maybe one month of time!
[Watch full video on YouTube.]
Adobe gave them one free month of CreativeCloud as re-payment for Markzwares service to fix the file. That was good of Adobe, but they can better help customers, by getting them to Markzware, right away! Our recovery rate on damaged or corrupt, un-opening InDesign files is very high, as in a recovery rate above 80%!
