Changing border style and proximity to neatline

A border is a decorative frame around a Map. For more information, see About borders. The position of a border is based on the position of a neatline or on the Area if the neatline is not set.

  1. From the Maps tree, right-click a border and click Properties.
  2. In the Border Properties window, click the General tab.
  3. Click the Style button and create a style for the border (see Selecting a style).
  4. In the Distance To Neatline area, enter a value representing the distance from the left border to the left neatline (or Area) in the Left spin box and choose a unit of measurement from the list box. If you want to keep the distance between the border and the neatline (or Area) the same on all sides, enable the Keep equal check box and go to step 8.
  5. Enter a value representing the distance from the right border to the neatline (or Area) in the Right spin box.
  6. Enter a value representing the distance from the top border to the neatline (or Area) in the Top spin box.
  7. Enter a value representing the distance from the bottom border to the neatline (or Area) in the Bottom spin box.
  8. Click OK.
