Once you’ve selected the object, click on the “Format options” button in the top right corner of the toolbar. This will open a menu with several formatting options for the selected object.
- In the Format options menu, you’ll see a section called “Border & line”. Click on this section to access the border options for the object. Here, you’ll see a number of different settings you can adjust to customize the border.
- The first setting is the “Type” dropdown menu. This allows you to select the style of border you want to use. The options are solid, dashed, dotted, and alternating dashes and dots. Choose the option that best fits the style you want to achieve.
- Next, you can adjust the thickness of the border using the “Weight” slider. Slide it left or right to increase or decrease the width of the border. You can also toggle the “Transparent” switch to make the border invisible if you don’t want it to be visible at all.
- Below the weight slider, you’ll find the “Color” dropdown menu. This lets you choose a color for your border. You can select from a range of preset colors or click on “Custom” to choose a specific color using the color picker tool.
- If you want to create a more complex border, you can click on the “Dash” dropdown menu. This opens up additional options for customizing the border style. For example, you can choose a specific dash or dot pattern, adjust the spacing between dashes or dots, and more.
