Anne,

This is going to depend on what DS level you are currently using.

A shortcut way is to hi-lite the element you wish to place a border around in 
the project tree, then holding down the shift key, left click on the Singleline 
center icon. This places a border around the element that can be edited for 
width, density, underlays, pull comp, etc.

The other way is to have the element hi-lited in the project tree, right click 
on the element, go into Properties, left click on "Change Element Type" and 
select the type of border you wish to have, ie.. walk, bean, singleline, etc. 
Works well on lettering as long as the lettering is not too small.

The use of the "Corners" tab in Properties, Column....is a valuble tool for 
mitering or capping the corners in a satin stitch column with sharp corners in 
it.

As I said this will depend on the version and level of dDS you have as to how 
you go about finding the Change Element Type selection.
