Text boxes have a border property, in addition to the usual properties of draw objects.
To set the border property:
Select the object or objects (see Selecting multiple objects for more details).
Right-click and select Properties.
Select the Border tab.
As an alternative to steps 2 and 3, select the Border command from the Format menu.
Next, choose from the following:
None. Turns off the border altogether.
Standard. Plain border in accordance with the pen style (see Line and fill styles).
Sunken. Creates a 3D sunken effect. To see this effect properly, you need to set the text box back-color (see Setting the color of draw objects) to be the same as the page background (and this should not be white).
Raised. Creates a raised effect. To see this effect properly, apply the same conditions for Sunken, as above.
Shadowed. Puts a dropped shadow around the text box.
Double. Same as Standard but a double line box is drawn.
Note that you can create the effect of a rectangle having a border property, by adding a text box but without entering any text.
