Re: Boreders design

You can select multiple drawing objects (assuming that they are *not*
positioned "In line with text") and then group them.

To select multiple objects, you can click the first object, then hold
Shift and click additional ones.

To group selected objects, click Draw on the Drawing toolbar, and then
click Group. You can now move the objects together as a unit, and/or
format them all in one step (via Format | AutoShape).

I have always thought that the selection of borders for Word lacks a
lot. To
provide a work-around I want to design some borders for my own use.
To make
the borders Word friendly I want to design them in Word using the
drawing
feature.

I immediately run up against a design problem-- the ability to gang
two or
more geometric shaes into a single disgn that can be color changed
and size
changed as a unit. My end goal is to be able to insert the
"Designed Line"
into the Word document and be able to stretch it to the needed
length or
changed the color through the Format feature.

Is this possible or should I try a different way?
