Fancy Borders with InDesign CS5

One of our Admin Assistants was complaining about the lack of templates with InDesign CS4. Little did she know - until I told her - CS5 has NO templates. I know, you are preaching to the choir. I hate that they removed the templates. The reasoning was that the templates were old, so we were better of without them - not! She wanted a template for a certificate. She didn't know how to create a border in ID. I told her it was simple and it is.


Here's how:

• Click on the rectangle tool in your tool box
• Draw a box where you want the border
• Choose line color and change the pixel width for the line if you wish
• Click on Object > Corner Options > Choose from drop down list.

Try it out and see what you can come up with.
