Text box with border within Report Text Tool

Hello,

 

I've created a form using both the Report Text Tool and a Table, but the customer requires one portion of the text to have a border around it. I can create lines top and bottom, but not a border around the whole portion of the text. It doesn't seem like the Report text tool has an option for it. Certain fields in this are data variables (non-bold ones). Anyone have any creative thoughts for a solution? Again, this is just one piece of the document as a whole.

Thank you,

Are you trying to create a border around both the table and the report text or just the table? If you want to do it around both I'm assuming you've already put them together with a Layout tool. You just need to tick on the Border option in the Layout Configuration

If you just wanted it around one and not the other, you can bring in a Layout tool immediately after you create the report object (either the Table tool or the Report Text Tool), and create a Layout Object with the border configured. You would then use this new Layout Object in your final Layout tool.

Around just the piece in the Report text tool...and that worked perfectly, thank you!
