Tryint to add border to picture in line with text SAM HDC 22.09.2006 16:07:02 I'm running Word 2000 on Windows XP. I am trying to add a colored border to a picture I've inserted into a Word document. Sometimes the picture is embedded and sometimes it is linked to another file. I usually just double-click the picture to get the Format Picture dialog box, and then select the Color and Lines tab and choose the line color and width. However, in my current file, the Line options are greyed out. The Line option becomes available if I choose a different layout, such as In front of text, but the pictures really need to be in the in-line style. I recently added borders to slew of picture in a different file, and they were all in the in-line style. Have I inadvertently changed a setting? Do I have a bug? I'd really appreciate any help any one can give... (thanks!)
