Adding Borders

You can add a border to most items. (If you can’t add a border, the Border button is not available for the selected item.)

To add a border:

1        Select the item.

2        On the Home or the Insert and Modify tab, in the Items Style section, click the Border button.

3        In the Border Settings dialog box, on the Border tab, click the Border Style button and specify the type of border. To remove a border, specify None.

Note:  You can also specify a style, such as Dotted or Dashed in the Border Thickness list.

4        To change the thickness of a border, type a value (in points) in the Line box or click the Border Thickness button and specify a thickness.

5        To color the border, click the Color tab. Select a pre-defined color, type a hexadecimal color, or click the Full color palette button to specify a color in the Color palette.

6        Click OK.

You can use the Border Settings dialog box to change a border.

In addition, for a text item, you can adjust padding in the Border Settings dialog box. See “Editing and Formatting Text” for details.
