your choice.	25
Tip: You can make a shape slightly smaller than a page and
then apply a frame to create a border for the entire page.
Use the Frame Width tool to widen or narrow a frame before
or after you apply it to a shape, and use the Transparency
tool to adjust a frame’s transparency. (See “Selecting items
and text” on page 36.) You can also change a frame’s color
to another color (if it’s a solid-color frame), or to black and
white or sepia. You can import your own frames, save a
frame as a new image, clip art, or background, or save
other items as new frames.
