9 Frame width
To adjust the width of a frame around a shape, use the
Frame Width slider, or type a new number in the box next
to the slider and press Enter. A higher number makes the
frame wider. A lower number makes the frame narrower.
Item status
The item status indicators (on the lower left in Windows,
or at the bottom of the workspace on the Macintosh) tell
you which item is currently selected, its degree of rotation
(if any), and its dimensions. Use the Zoom tool to enlarge
or minimize your view. You cannot
directly enter data into the item
status indicators; these simply
display the type of item you are
working with and its current status.
