anywhere in the line and use the menu to select the box. A box will appear
around that line.
Placing a Line Above, Below, or Between Text Lines
You can add a horizontal border line between any two lines of text. Place
the cursor on one of the text lines and use the "line above" (C) or "line below"
(B) symbol to place a
border line either
above or below the
text. Adding a bor-
der line below one
text line is the same
as adding a border
line above the follow-
ing text line.
Hint: You can create a double border line. Create a blank line of titles. Add a
border line below the new, empty line. Add a border line below the text line above it.
This trick places a line above and below the blank line. You can change the distance
between the two border lines by changing the font and size of the blank text line
(which changes its height).
Side Bars
You can also place bars on the sides of text using the "side" symbol (D) .

Complex Borders

Whenever you change a border style, the
new style replaces any borders already in
place. You can create some interesting bor-
der patterns:
Simple box. Mark text using MARK START
and END and add the box border style.
Box with lines inside. Create a box as in . Remove the marks by pressing
UNDO and place the cursor on the second line, inside the box. Add the
box border style. Repeat for each line in the box.
Box plus lines. Add a blank line above and below the box. Set the blank
lines to the smallest Font & Size. Add a border line below the blank text
line above the box. Add a border line above the one below the box.
Lines. Mark text, including the line of text following the last line. Add a
border line above. Each text line will have its own border line.
Hint: Don't forget that characters can make excellent borders. Use a row of bullet
and pictorial characters (such as ACCENT + J), dashes, the letter O, etc. Make them
hollow by making them the same color as background and giving them a contrasting
outline.
