changing a border/frame style

[dale_bean@adobeforums.com]

I know in Quark, a frame editor comes with the program which allows you to create custom borders.
Is such a feature available in ID? If so how do you access it?
We are a MAC environment using CS2.
Thanks to all who help

Think outside the box a bit. Use Illustrator or a nice decorative Pi
font with text on a path.

You can also download patternmaker from [url]www.teacupsoftware.com[/url]

Select your frame.
Open the Stroke Palette (Window > Stroke)
If the style you want is not available in the list, open the palette menu and select Stroke Styles...
Click New
Create your new style.

Also look into corner effects (Object > Corner Effects)

Still, not as robust as I recall Quark's effects being. However, the ease of transfering objects from Illustrator mitigates that for me as Illustrator's stroke styles are far more comprehensive than Quark's (or InDesign's).
