I am trying to write text Alfredo Heavy Hollow and then fill with a colour I
am using XP and Publisher 2003.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Well, you've managed to get into the New User's group for MS Word, not a
Publisher group :) but the answer will be the same there...

I take from your post that you are using a font by the name of Alfredo Heavy
Hollow and that this is apparently an "outline" font (I'm not familiar with
this font). What you want to do is fill the "hollow" with a color without
affecting the character outline.

What you're attempting to do can't be accomplished in Word or Publisher - at
least with regard to body text. You need a font editor or graphic design
program. What might work for you is to create a WordArt object using that
font. You may be able to get the effect you want, but it will be handled as
a graphic object, not as body text.

Type your phrase in WordArt, copy, paste special as a Windows Metafile, ungroup.
You can re-color the letters and the outlines. When you paste as a .wmf there
will be four layers of type with a ungrouped hollow font. Keep that in mind.
 
Iam pretty sure this will solve your problem. If you dont have the drawing
toolbar on the bottom of your screen then go to to tools,options,toolbars and
check drawing toolbar Then click on the A symbol that says "word art" This
gives you some nice styles and two are transparent. Then to fill it with
color. Go to fill effects (to the left of the pencil symbol on the drawing
toolbar).on the drawing toolbar and click the arrow next to it. A pallete of
color will come up. You can also select more fill effects by selecting fill
effects from the color pallete. I think this will do the trick. Let me know
how it worked. You can also draw shapes with autoshapes and color them this
way
Best regsrds,
