Frames are decorative borders that can be placed around any type of box. To access frame controls for active boxes, do one of the following:

• Choose Item > Frame to display the Frame tab of the Modify dialog box.
• Display the Frame tab of the Measurements palette.

Use the controls in these tabs to specify a frame style, width, color, and opacity. If the frame style contains gaps, you can also specify gap color and opacity.

You can also create your own frame styles in the Dashes and Stripes dialog box (Edit menu) and specify frame settings in an Item Style. For more about Item Styles, see “Item Styles XTensions software.”
