Default Vinyl letter cutting/pressing

I am looking to cut heat press vinyl and need some help. I want to cut a letter in white as an underbase, then cut a smaller black letter to lay over the white so the white creates an outline. I am having difficulty figuring out how to do this in CorelDraw X3. If I duplicate the letter and then try to make is smaller it is out of proportion and doesn't exactly fit in the larger letter. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

Paul, try using the a contour instead. Ctrl+F9 will open the contour docker. Then use your pick tool to select the text. In the contour docker, select Outside and set a value for Offset, set Steps to one and click apply.

Here's a thread where KenS posted instructions on how to do that...it's not exactly the same, but you'll get the basics.
