MicroStrategy ONE
Formatting document borders and backgrounds
You can format the border or background of a document for a more professional-looking presentation. The document's border extends around the printable area on each page of the document. For a sample, see the Document Creation Help.
You can specify the border style (thick, thin, hairline, dotted, dashed, double) and the color of the border. You can also apply the border to one or more sides of the document.
If the document contains multiple layouts, you can format the border and background of each layout separately.
