Properties Dialog Box, Layout Properties, Color and Borders

If you arrived here from Workstation, see the Workstation Document Authoring Help.

You can use the Color and Borders option to modify colors and borders in a document. If DHTML is disabled you cannot create custom colors in the color picker or apply gradients.

Fill: Specify the following to determine how the control is formatted.
- Color: Specify a color with which to fill the selected object by clicking the arrow on the color menu and selecting a color.
  - Access additional colors by clicking More Colors.
  - Apply a color gradient, which is a combination of two colors, to the object. To do so, select Gradients. In the Gradients dialog box that opens, select the two colors to use for the gradient. Then select a shading style in which to display the gradient to determine the direction in which the two colors are blended together.
Borders: Select the type of border to draw around the control.
- None: No borders appear around the selected object. This is the default setting.
- All: Borders surround the selected object on all sides. After selecting this option, from the drop-down list, select a line style for the border and, from the color picker, a color.
- Custom: Determine whether the left, right, top, and bottom borders are displayed, and if so, the type of line and color used for each border.
You can also define the fill color or border color by typing the hex code of the required color in the Hex field.
