Now that you have copied the text,
Create a new image in which you'd want to put that text on.
(For example, if my text is green, and i want an outline that is white, in step one, i would have made my text color green in the color palette & then created a new blank image that is white for my outline.)
Go to edit>>paste as new selection.

You should see the dancing lines appear around your text.

set your pixels to whatever you want.
I usually set mine between 1-2.
