Format Bitmap Border

Bitmap borders can be changed and applied to several bitmaps at once. The border types available for bitmaps is the same as those available for text boxes. The example below shows the three border types. When a text box is created, it assumes the border and font properties of the previously created text box.

Steps

1. Ctrl+click the bitmap to activate it. If you want to change the border for all bitmaps in the report, from the Edit menu, click Select All Bitmaps.

2. From the Bitmap menu, click Border. The Define a border dialog box appears.

3. Set the shape to Square, Round, Bevel, or None. The sample border for the selected option appears in the upper right corner of the dialog box. As you define each border format option, the sample border refreshes to display the changes.

4. Set the Thickness (defined in millimeters), Shadow, and Internal gap. Enter a number in the box or click the associated sample.

   Note: Internal gap is the space (in mm) between the table and the border.

5. Select the colors and patterns for the border. Click the desired sample box or click the black arrow next to the last color box to select a different color.

   The border attributes you define are limited to the border you select in step 1.
