Objects in Illustrator can have a fill, a stroke, or both, as you've seen. At the bot-
tom of the Tools panel, notice the Fill and Stroke boxes. The Fill box is brown for
the selected object, and the Stroke box is None. Click the Stroke box, and then
click the Fill box (making sure that the Fill box is the last selected). Notice that the
box you click is brought to the front of the other. When a color is selected, it will
apply to the fill or stroke of the selected object (whichever is in front).
