Modify an object's borders, margins, or padding

Any box object on a report design document can have margins, borders, and padding.

Figure: Border, Padding, and Margin


This figure is a diagram illustrating the concepts of Margin, Border, and Padding. See the surrounding text for information about modifying Margin, Border, and Padding properties for a report object.

Set an object's specific properties in the Properties View to change:

Borders are drawn outside the box and will increase the actual size of the box beyond the value specified in x-Size and y-Size.

When a bordered item is positioned it behaves like a regular element, so that the attachment point appears at the specified position.
