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): click the downward pointing arrow next to Color to
select a color from the list of predefined colors (see "Defining colors, spot colors and tints"
on page647), or click the colored rectangle to open the Color Picker dialog. In this dialog
you can select a color from the color wheel, set RGB or CMYK color values or enter a
hexadecimal color code. 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 page616.
Rounding corners
Any element in a template can have rounded corners. For boxes and images, this option is
available in the Formatting dialog. For other elements, you have to create a CSS rule to set the
border-radius of the element (or class of elements).
Boxes, images and tables
To round the corners of a box, image or table:
1. Select a Box, Image or Table element (see "Selecting an element" on page526) and on
the Format menu click the respective element. Alternatively, right-click the element and
click the respective element on the shortcut menu.
2.
On the first tab in the Formatting dialog (the Box, Image or Table tab respectively) specify
the corner radius in a measure (10mm, 5px, 0.5in) or percentage (0 - 90%).
3.
For a Box or Image, click Apply to see the effect without closing the dialog or OK to close
the dialog.
For a Table, you have to take yet another step. Tables can't have rounded corners and
collapsed borders at the same time. All built-in table styles in the Designer have collapsed
