80 Working with Objects
After applying a preset envelope from the Attributes toolbar's Warp flyout (or
context toolbar), you can use the Mesh Warp context toolbar to switch the warp
on/off, edit the mesh by varying its curvature and even custom-design a mesh to
match a particular object's geometry—for example, curves that follow the facial
contours in a bitmap image—for more precise control of the warp effect. The
effect is removable and doesn't permanently alter the object.
The process of editing mesh warps and their envelopes is described in greater
detail in the PagePlus Help.
Adding borders
A border is a repeating, decorative
element that can be set to enclose objects,
such as text frames, pictures, and tables.
PagePlus comes with an impressive range
of categorized picture-based border styles
for you to use. However, if you'd like to
create your own custom borders you can
import a border design as a picture, and
save it for future use.
Edge selection lets you apply the border
effect to all sides, top, bottom, left, right,
or both top and bottom (opposite).
The Picture Frames category in the Gallery tab offers the
same set of border styles but already applied to placeholder
picture frames. (See p. 161.)
To add a border to an object:
1. Click Line/Border on the Tools toolbar's Fill flyout.
2. To define the border, select the Border tab, then select a border preset
from the Style drop-down list. You can preview each border in the
window at the right as you scroll down the open list with your
keyboard up/down arrows.
