Border
In any type of template, boxes, tables and table cells, paragraphs, images and other elements
can have a border.
Elements have a rectangular shape, so their border has four sides. Each side of the border can
have a different layout.
Adding a border
1. Right-click the element and click the respective element on the shortcut menu.
Alternatively, select the element (see "Selecting an element" on page669) and on the
Format menu click the respective element.
2. Click the Border tab.
3. Uncheck the option Same for all sides to be able to style each side of the border
separately.
4. Specify the width of the border (side). This is equivalent to the border-width property
in CSS.
5. Specify the style of the border (side), such as solid, dashed or dotted. This is equivalent to
the border-style property in CSS.
6. Specify the color of the border (side): select a named color (defined in the "Colors
Properties" on page1017) from the drop-down, or click the colored square to open the
Color Picker dialog ("Color Picker" on page1017). Alternatively you could type a name or
value in the Color field directly. It must be a predefined CSS color name (CSS color
names), a hexadecimal color code (HTML Hex Color), an RGB color value, for example
rgb(216,255,170) or a CMYK color value, for example cmyk(15%, 0%, 33%,
0%).
This setting is equivalent to the border-color property in CSS.
Note
It is also possible to set an element's border in a style sheet; see "Styling templates with
CSS files" on page786.
