Adding a border around an image

Using the Image Effects Border tool, you can add a solid border around an image and control its width, color, and corner roundness.

To add a border around an image

1. Select the desired image.
2. Click the Layout tab, go to Effect, and then click Image Effects to open the Image Effects dialog box.
3. On the toolbar, click (Border).
4. In the Width box, enter the desired width of the border in pixels.
5. In the Roundness box, enter a number representing the degree of roundness of the border. A value of 100 produces a perfectly round border.
6. Click the Color box and select a color.
7. Click OK, and then click OK again to exit the Image Effects dialog box.
8. In the Save as box, enter the path and file name under which to save the modified image. Initially, the box contains the original image’s path and file name; if you want to replace the original image file, leave the path and file name unchanged.
9. Under Save format, select the desired image format.
10. Click OK.

To specify a border around an image without modifying the image itself, use the Borders & Background command on the Format menu. Note, however, that you cannot create rounded corners with this method.
