Borders 1
                        From John McAdams

     These 12 images started life as public domain .GEM files
with date stamps in January and February 1986.  They are, in
other words, "golden oldies" of the computer clipart world.  They
are all over the bulletin board circuit, although I happened to
get my copies from Infinite Perspectives BBS (301-924-0398).

     This particular set of images includes all those (from a
large assortment) that contain elegant curves.  BECAUSE they
contain elegant curves, and some fairly thick lines, I had a
terrible time with them.  I tried converting them to .CGM with a
little converter produced by Digital Research (the GEM people)
and found they looked very bad when printed.  The curves looked
as though the image was a crude bitmap.  I then imported them
into DrawPerfect, exported as .WPG and .CGM, and found that they
looked no better.

     So I imported them into CorelDRAW!  I found they needed some
cleaning up.  Many lines that were supposed to meet other lines
didn't exactly do so.  Some lines that were supposed to be either
horizontal or vertical weren't exactly.  Corel's node alignment
tools fixed all this very nicely.

              Using the Borders Within WordPerfect

     If you want to use these borders to fill an entire page, be
sure and set the margins--both on the left and right and the top
and bottom--to the narrowest setting your printer will support. 
For an HP Laserjet, this is about one-half an inch.

     You will also want to specify <Options> for the type of
graphics box (User Defined, Figure, etc.) you are using.  Be sure
to set both <Outside Border Space> and <Inside Border Space> to
zero.  You will need to do this BEFORE you create the box.

     When you <Create> the box, set <Wrap Text Around Box> to
"No."  This will allow you to place text within the box.

     If you are using the box on only a portion of the page, you
will find that you want to create one box to contain the border,
and another box to contain the text.  Set <Anchor Type> to "Page"
for both boxes, and superimpose them by placing both in the same
location.

     These .EPS images have bitmapped (TIFF) headers that will
allow you to view the borders within WordPerfect and other
applications.  They will allow you to size the images within the
WordPerfect graphics editing window, and to properly position
text.  They will also allow you to rotate five of the borders in
this collection (P130, P080, P120W, L060 and L070) for use in
either the portrait or the landscape orientation.  When you use
any of these borders in an orientation other than its native
orientation (that is when you use, say, P130 in landscape) be
sure to correctly size the box BEFORE you import the graphic. 
(Importing a portrait border into a portrait box, and then
changing the dimensions of the box for landscape will distort the
graphic within the box.)  After you import, you can get to the
graphics editing screen and use <Rotate> to rotate the border 90
degrees, and <Scale> or PageUp to size it up to fill the box.
