atw: Re: Setting a coloured border in a flyer

Create the Visio image in the EXACT size you want in the final output. Use
Page Setup > Size > Custom.
Add the border as a box, at the same size as the custom page size. Colour
the line and size its thickness using the properties dialog. Turn your box
fill off.

When you save it, save it as a wmf file and away you go.

Subject: atw: Setting a coloured border in a flyer


Hi guys,
I am writing a number of targeted messages to be produced as flyers.  
These messages are aimed to communicate information about the progress 
of a particular project and will be updated every few days with new 
information.  The messages will be posted in both electronic format (on 
electronic boards) and in hard copy (on notice boards) in different 
locations in the business.  The messages are a combination of text and 
graphics and I am creating the content in MS Visio and then converting 
them to gif format.

I would like each message to display with a coloured border around it 
(right up to the edges), making them look more professional and stand 
out more on a notice board. I need some suggestions on how to best 
achieve this.  I added a border to my Visio screens, but when I print 
them I still get a white print border outside my coloured border. There 
does not seem to be a way to get rid of this print border in Visio. The 
same white border displays when I print the gif.  I  tried pasting the 
graphic into Word and set the borders to zero, but this did not work 
either.
Any ideas would be welcome.
all the best
Ilana
