If the object is a rounded rectangle, circle, or ellipse, the available border styles are None and Line.

Type the number of pixels for the width of the object’s border.

Select whether the object background is solid, gradient, or transparent. If you select Transparent, the object’s background is not filled in and any objects behind it show through. If you select Gradient, the object's background is filled with a linear gradient color.

If you select Solid, the background is opaque. Specify the color for the background (Back color) in the Active Appearance and Inactive Appearance tabs.

Select the shape of the object. If the object is a rounded rectangle, circle, or ellipse, the application applies properties such as size and position by measuring in relation to the object’s bounding box.
