Adobe Indesign CS4 – Adding a stroke to the frame

Now you’ll change the color of the text frame so that the stroke, which appears as a border, matches the color of the red star. The Swatches panel lets you efficiently apply, edit, and update colors for all objects in a document.

This magazine article is intended for printing at a commercial press, so it uses CMYK process colors. The necessary colors have already been added to the Swatches panel.

1. Choose Window > Swatches.
2. With the text frame still selected, click the Stroke box at the top of the Swatches panel.

Selecting the Stroke box causes the selected text frame’s border to be affected by the color you select.

3. Select PANTONE Warm Red CVC. You may need to scroll down to see it.
4. To change the weight of the stroke, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) the frame, and select Stroke Weight > 0.5 pt from the context menu. The context menus provide an easy way to change many attributes of a selected object, including the stroke weight.
5. Click the pasteboard to deselect all objects, and then close the Swatches panel.
6. Choose File > Save.
