Change an object’s border

You can add, remove, or modify the border (also called stroke) around most objects. Instead of a line, you can use a graphical border called a picture frame.

The format bar contains controls for changing a border’s line style, thickness, and color. Use the Graphic inspector to make additional adjustments. Here are the Stroke controls in the Graphic inspector:

- Modify a line style: Choose an option from the pop-up menu below the Stroke pop-up menu.
