Defining Borders for Objects
In Writer, you can define borders around OLE objects, plug-ins, diagrams/charts, graphics and frames. The name of the menu to be used depends on the object selected.
Setting a Predefined Border Style
-
Select the object for which you want to define a border.
-
Click the \<emph\>Borders\</emph\> icon on the \<emph\>OLE-Object\</emph\> toolbar or \<emph\>Frame\</emph\> toolbar to open the \<emph\>Borders\</emph\> window.

Repeat the last two steps for every border edge.
