Use the Import button to base your borders on your own bordered picture
design.
Once you've optimized the design of your new border, you might like to save it
for future use. The border is stored globally so you can make use of it in other
publications.
To save your custom border:
1. Click Save as...
2. From the dialog, select a subcategory (e.g., Fun, Fabric, etc.) from the
drop-down list; alternatively, enter a new custom subcategory name in
the box.
3. From the dialog, enter your custom border name. The new border
appears in the Line and Border dialog's Style drop-down list (and also
as a categorized bordered picture frame in the Gallery tab).
Using object styles
Object styles benefit your design efforts in much the same way as text styles
and color schemes. Once you've come up with a set of attributes that you like—
properties like line color, fill, border, and so on—you can save this cluster of
attributes as a named style. WebPlus remembers which objects are using that
style, and the style appears in the Styles tab, and can subsequently be applied to
new objects.
Here's how object styles work to your advantage:
• Each object style can include settings for a host of object attributes,
such as line color, line style, fill, transparency, filter effects, font, and
border. The freedom to include or exclude certain attributes, and the
nearly unlimited range of choices for each attribute, makes this a
powerful tool in the designer's arsenal.
