[How to create a text outline like pictured?]

Thanks so much!  That is a lot easier!  It worked well with text like above, but was a little tricky with cursive text.  Great fix though.  Thanks!

[How to create a text outline like pictured?]

I did this before in PSE but was wondering if I could do it in Affinity Photo.  I can't remember how I even did it in PSE. I just need to create an outline around the text so that it stand out against a shape.  I remember I had to convert text to curves, select, expand, and then at some point delete from selection... but I'm lost.  Thanks for any help!
