Only apply stroke to selected characters in a text box

Hi all!

I have a text box with the words “The skills we need for the world we want” and I’d like only the words “skills” and “world” to have a stroke.

It seems as though you can apply a fill to a text selection (I highlight some characters within the text box, change the fill, it only applies to the highlighted characters) but when I do the same with a stroke, it applies to everything in the text box, not just the highlighted characters.

Am I missing something, or is the only way to get the effect I want to outline the text? Any tips appreciated! I’d love to keep this as live text.
