Maudie1942 Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 I'm new to Affinity after working with PagePlus from 3 - 9 creating a local full colour magazine of 52 pages. I am struggling to find how to do things. As a volunteer I don't have time to sit through tutorials. I used to just sit with a cuppa and find the answer in the User Guide. I am finding that the language used is different. Using PagePlus was just so easy for me after all those years, but now I am really struggling. HELP!

walt.farrell Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Assuming you're using Publisher, View > Studio > Text Frame and you'll have access to controls for the fill and stroke for the frame itself.

Maudie1942 Posted March 7, 2020 Author Share Posted March 7, 2020 Yes Publisher - you just don't expect it to be under VIEW! Will have a go. Have a text box awaiting a line border in colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maudie1942 Posted March 7, 2020 Author Share Posted March 7, 2020 Trouble is I am finding that they have used different words - like Stroke instead of Line. Just looked at the link - and yes it does look good - thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
