Defining Borders for Characters
If two adjacent text ranges' all border properties are identical (same style, width, color, padding and shadow), then those two ranges will be considered to be part of the same border group and rendered within the same border in the document.
Setting a Predefined Border Style
-
Select the range of characters around which you want to add a border.
-
Choose \<emph\>Format - Page - Borders\</emph\>.
-
Select one of the default border styles in the \<emph\>Default\</emph\> area.
-
Select a line style and color for the selected border style in the \<emph\>Line\</emph\> area. These settings apply to all border lines that are included in the selected border style.
-
Select the distance between the border lines and the selected characters in the Padding area. You can only change distances to edges that have a border line defined.
-
Click \<emph\>OK\</emph\> to apply the changes.
Setting a Customized Border Style
