Borders are rectangular boxes around fields. By specifying part of a border, you can outline part of a field, such as its top or bottom. You can choose the width of the border, the pattern (whether the border is a solid or broken line), the style (regular or shadow box); and you can choose square, angled, or rounded corners.

You can place a single border around as many individual fields as you want by clicking the Outline button in the text toolbar. Reporter draws a border around each field until it reaches a field for which the Outline option is not selected.
