To add space around an objectAll objects have a
certain amount of white space or margin around them.
Select the object.
In the Layout palette, set the margins for Left, Right, Top,
and Bottom.
To add a border around an objectTo define
border properties for an object that supports borders, you must
first select the object. The properties that you define in the Border
palette apply to the whole object.
Select the object.
In the Border palette, from the Edges list, select an editing
option.
To apply a border to each edge separately,
select Edit Individually. This option does not apply to three-dimensional
borders.
To apply the same border to all edges, select Edit Together.
Beneath the Edges list, select a style, width, and color
for the borders.
To have notched corners, click one of the Corners buttons
and, in the Radius box, define the corner radius (in inches, centimeters,
or points).
To fill the object with color or a pattern, select an option
from the Style list and, using the adjacent color selector buttons,
select appropriate fill colors.
To add a border around the fillable areaYou can also specify the border properties
of the fillable areas of an object. For example, for a text field,
you can apply one type of border and fill to the overall object
and another type of border and fill to the value area that displays
data. These objects have fillable areas:
Command buttons
Check boxes
Signature Fields
Drop-down lists
List boxes
Numeric fields
Password fields
Radio buttons
Text fields
Select the object.
In the Object palette, click the Field tab. From the Appearance
list, select Custom.
Select a style for the border of the fillable area. The options
are the same as those in the Border palette.
If applicable for the object, type a border width and select
a color for the border.
To have notched corners, click one of the Corners buttons
and in the Radius box, define the corner radius (in inches, centimeters,
or points).
To fill the fillable area with color or a pattern, select
an option from the Style list and using the adjacent color selector
buttons, select appropriate fill colors.
To change the default formatting for new objectsYou can set the default formatting for new objects and
save it in the Object Library. For example, you can change the default
font for all new Text objects to Times New Roman.
Insert an object.
Make the changes to the object. For example, add a border,
apply a different font, change the size of the text.
Drag the object into a category in the Object Library palette.
In the Add Library Object dialog box, type the name of the
object and click OK.
If another object of the same name already
exists in that tab, Designer asks you to confirm that you want to
replace the existing object.
