    Default How do I put a line around a rectangle

    Where is the tool or menu to put a narrow black line around a rectangle?

    I found it once, but can't find it at all right now.

    It's the line tool - up on the top tool bar in the older programs or, in WD - 7 and D-7, it can be placed on the right side.

    You can put any size line/border you want - can also change the line color if you wish. - jb

    or dropdown menu 'set line width' on the standard toolbar [top of the screen]

    Thanks, folks!

    I got it done using the 'set line width' box. It isn't labeled on the toolbar, though it does identify itself when you mouse over it.

    I didn't see a way to use what I think is the line tool. It's on the left of the screen, and offers three ways to draw lines. I didn't see a way to put a line around an existing object, though.

    Hi Tracey,

    You can select an object then right click a color on the Color Line and select Set Line Color from the popup menu.
