Outline Text with Word Interop

I have searched online and on SO and can't find anybody else asking about this which I found a little surprising; perhaps my search query is off.

I am trying to add the 'Outline' effect (as seen under the Text Effects drop-down on the Home ribbon) without luck. There is an Outline property on Font, but I've tried setting it to to 1 with no effect. The Glow and Reflection effects are configurable (e.g. Font.Glow.Radius, Font.Glow.Color).

I got excited when I saw the Font.Borders property

range[j].Font.Borders.Enable = 1;
range[j].Font.Borders.OutsideLineStyle = WdLineStyle.wdLineStyleSingle;
range[j].Font.Borders.OutsideLineWidth = WdLineWidth.wdLineWidth100pt;
range[j].Font.Borders.OutsideColor = WdColor.wdColorBlack;

But this was just a rectangular border around the text itself.

Font.Outline = True // value is probably -1 in C# rather than 1

Font.Line.ForeColor //and use .RGB or .ObjectThemeColor to specify the color, keeping in mind that you need to "translate" the RGB color between COM and .NET.
