In almost any version of PS in the past 5 or more years (...not sure about "Elements"), the easiest way to get an outline of a letter is to use the "stroke" and "fill amount" functions on the "Layers Properties/Style" dialog box. You get to this by double clicking on the layer that contains the lettering of interest.

So, for example, here is an un-adorned letter:

[ATTACH]51749[/ATTACH]

Next, we turn on stroke using "Layer Properties / Style":

[ATTACH]51750[/ATTACH]

To get this:

[ATTACH]51751[/ATTACH]

Then, we reduce "fill" to zero to get this:

[ATTACH]51752[/ATTACH]

HTH,
