Add a Outline to Text Box

In default text box does not have a border. When we select a text box a thick gray border appears around a text box, but it is temporary and disappears when the text box is deselected. If you want a permanent outline around your text box, we need to follow the steps below:-

1.      Click on the text box to select it. A temporary border will appear around the text box.

2.      Take the Drawing toolbar. To choose line color, click the arrow beside the Line Color button, choose the color you wish to be the border line color.

3.      Click the ‘Line Style’ button, then click desired line style from the Line Style list.

4.      Click on Dash style button and choose desired dash style for the border.

5.      Click outside the text box to deselect it. Now outline is visible around the text box.
