Borders for Pages

Borders around pages are set up from the Page Layout dialog as follows:

1	Click Format, Page Layout to open the Page Layout dialog.

2	Click to check the Use Borders check box at the bottom of the dialog.

3	Click the Borders button. The Borders for Pages dialog will appear.

4	If you assign a name to your border, the name will be associated with the settings you select and added to the drop list. You will then be able to select the same border for future use within your document. To assign a name, click the New button and type in a name of 7 letters or less.

5	Use the Shading slider control at the top right of the dialog if you would like to add background shading to the page. The shading will appear on the full page inside of the border. Select a setting between 0% (white) and 100% (black).

6	Use the radio buttons to select one of the 5 types of borders shown.

Use the check boxes to indicate whether the Weight, Shading and Inset are or are not identical for each side of the border. The Weight is the thickness of the line. The Shading indicates how dark the line is (100% is black) and the Inset is the margin of space between the outside edge of the paper and the border. Use the slider controls to set the weight, shading and inset. Note that the minimum inset is 0.25 inches. You cannot print anything that is within 0.25 inches of the edge of the paper.

8	If you selected Custom border in step 3, then you can use the Left, Right, Top and Bottom check boxes to indicate whether or not you want to include each of these sides in your border.

9	Click OK to accept the settings you have selected, or Cancel to accept previous settings.

10	Click OK to close the Page Layout dialog, accepting the settings you have selected.

Borders can also be created using the action line. See Border Commands.
