Hi

i'm working on V1 publisher german on PC and want to give  textframes / flields a double line as outline. 
Is there a easy way to configure the outlines (colour, different thickness etc) ?

Thx,
Alex

Welcome to the forums @alexta

I don’t think it’s possible to give a Frame Text layer a double outline.
I would be happy to be proven wrong though.

I think the easiest way to do this would be to put the Frame Text layer ‘inside’ a slightly larger layer with the same shape (e.g. Rectangle).

Or not so easy: Apply a decoration on the whole text of the text frame.

Another method: clip each text frame with a simple rectangle.
