Hi there,
You'll need to have the text layer active in the layers palette, then open up the 'layer effects' menu from the bottom of the layers palette and choose the stroke effect. You can then choose the colour, size, oppacity and blending mode for the stroke.
Hope this helps

Sounds like you've got the navigator there instead. You can bring back the layers palette by going to the windows menu and selecting layers. A useful keyboard shortcut is F7
