Can anyone please tell me how to add a simple thin black border around a bitmap that has been inserted into a Corel Draw 10 document. I know this is probably pretty simple, but I can't seem to find the solution.

Thanks in advance.
 
The quickest way would be to draw a rectangle slightly larger than your bitmap, add a black fill, and bring the bitmap to the front (shift& page up).

Or, Double click on the bitmap, this will open it in PhotoPaint, in the Menu bar go Image - Paper Size, change the paper colour to black and adjust the width and height to be slightly larger than your image.

Hope that was of some help.
 
Thanks for the reply. That should get the job done nicely.
 
Powerclip your bitmap into any shape you choose and add outline to that
