About borders

A border is a decorative frame that surrounds a Map. You can build a border as simple or as complex as you want.

To add a border to an area, see Creating a surround. To open the Border Properties window, see Setting surround element properties.

The look of a border is determined by its:

• General properties (see Changing border style and proximity to neatline)
• Position (see Setting the updating behavior)
• Quick Style (see Selecting an existing quick style)
