Lines and borders
Note: You will find detailed information about this topic in section “Borders and
lines” beginning on page 94.
In a letter, a line is often drawn between the footer and the body text. This is very
easily accomplished in TextMaker with the command Format > Borders. Its
purpose is to put a border around a paragraph, or to put single lines along the left,
right, top and/or bottom edges.
To place a line above the footer, click in the first line of the footer and invoke the
command Format > Borders. A dialog box appears.
The dialog box for Format > Borders
The Sample field not only shows you how the bordered paragraph will look; it also
allows you to choose, with mouse clicks, which lines are to be changed.
At the left, you can set the Line style (none, single, double) and the line width.
Let’s proceed as follows to place a line above the paragraph:
1. Go to the Sample field, where border lines are selected. By default, all the lines
(top, bottom, left and right) are pre-selected. This is indicated by the little arrows
that appear at the ends of the lines.
