Changing a line's attributes
You use the Line tab of the
Details dialog to format the currently-selected line(s) and change the way they appear in a border. The tabs available on the Details dialog depend on the items that are selected when you display the dialog. For example, if you choose to edit the attributes of a line and a shape, the dialog contains two tabs: Line and Shape. To access the Details dialog, select the item or items you want to maintain then select the Details command from the Edit menu, or click .

Select the category into which you want to place the selected line in the Categories field.
You can place items into categories and turn the categories on and off in order to show or hide the items within the categories.

- Select the Print on every page radio button to make the selected line print on all pages of a printout, in cases where a printout exceeds a single page.
- Select the Print on the following only radio button, then select the page or pages on which you want the selected line to print to make the selected line print on specific pages, in cases where a printout exceeds a single page.
You may find this feature useful if you want to create a border that displays different items on certain pages. For example, you can create borders that:
- Display items on the first page only - useful for an introduction.
- Display items on the last page only - useful for a conclusion.
- Display items on all pages but the first and last pages.
- Display different information on odd and even pages - useful if you want to print the border in duplex and want information to be mirrored on odd and even pages.

Select the Transparent check box. Any items overlapped by the line will become visible.

Select the appropriate formatting options using the following fields:
- Foreground.
- Background.
- Line style.
Click OK to confirm your changes and close the Details dialog.
