How do I change the color of a text box border? Thanks.

fbloom,

Changing the color of the text box border is the same as changing the color of any other shape in Nisus Writer Pro 2.0, by using the Shape Stroke palette.

This is all explained beginning on page 173 of the User's Guide available when you choose Help > Nisus Writer Pro Help.

Here's that text (slightly edited, un-formatted and without illustrations):

Using the Shape Stroke palette
In the Shape Stroke palette you can determine:
• the kind of line from the pop-up menu at the top. These lines are the same lines illustrated in Figure 245 on page 212,
Some line strokes cannot be used with certain shapes. For example multiple line strokes cannot be used around circles though dashed strokes can.
• the line’s color using by clicking the Color swatch to open the Colors panel,
• the line’s Thickness and Opacity,
• the shape of the end-point of the line.
At the bottom of the palette two pop-up menus offer a variety of “arrowheads” from which you can choose for either end. This is illustrated in Figure 200 which has a point on the upper end and a ball on the lower.
• All of the controls of the Shape Stroke palette are also available (with limited options) on the Shape Stroke submenus of the Tools menu. These are listed on page 457.
One of the values of having all these commands on the menus as well as the palette is that you can assign keyboard shortcuts to them as explained in “Assign Menu Keys to Menu Commands” on page 383, as well as use the commands in automating tasks using macros as explained in “Macros, Skimming the Surface” on page 397.

I hope that helps. If you need any additional assistance, please let us know.
