Adding Borders to an Item
Useful Information! Borders can be used to apply formatting through a report, although most commonly they are used to apply Subtotal and Total indicators to totalled values within a report. Borders are applied to an item in the Report Designer window. To apply or edit borders, click on an item in the detail area of the Report Designer window, then right–click to access the menu. The Format Border option is then available.
