Programatically control Border line weight?

V.10

Does anyone know a way to control a text object border's line weight? I can't find a property to access this.

Thanks!

I don't think that there is.

You can control whether it's Single, Double, Dashed and Dotted.

You could try inserting a box instead, where you can control the line width.

The situatio is this. I have conditionally appearing subtotal lines that need to formatted to hairline. The line object allows this, but does not allow for conditional suppression. I was hoping to use the Top Border to deal with the issue, but can't control the weight. My next workaround was to import a png graphic of a line which I can then suppress and control. Unfortunately the dang thing works perfectly in the development environment, but when I upload it to our actual printing environment the line truncates!

The box suggestion has the same issue of not being able to conditionally suppress.

Perhaps you could insert the line object in a separate section and then conditionally suppress the section.

Good idea! Thank you.
