PrintingPress Pro Extreme lets you add borders to any stationery, image, text box or monogram. You can use any of the built-in border images, a border image you download from the internet, or even create a custom border. To add a border to your stationery, select Stationery Border, Add Border in the Design menu. In the example below, we used one of the border images from Fonts & Graphics 3 and fully-justified the text vertically. We also used the Sample Color tool to match the text color to the red in the border.

PrintingPress Pro Extreme 4.0 gives you powerful tools to create custom borders. It allows you to specify a fill type for the custom border, choosing between Solid (which allows you to choose a color or pattern), Shape (which allows you to repeat a shape around the border) and Image (which allows you to repeat an image around the border). Pro Extreme 4.0 also includes new outline and inner pen styles for custom borders, including dots, bumps and scallops. The example below shows a custom border with a brown Dotted (adjacent to fill) outline and inner pen and a custom pattern fill of 0.5 inches.

To add a border to a text box, monogram or image, click on the object and choose Image, Add Border in the Design menu. The Edit Image window will open to the Border tab. You can specify a border image file, or all the details for a custom border. In the example below, we used a custom border in an oval shape with a Shape fill type. We set the fill background color to a light green, the fill shape to Star, the fill shape color to white, set the outline and inner pen color to blue, and set the line type for both the outline and inner pen to Dotted (overlapping fill).
