To add a border around the fillable area

You can also specify the border properties of the fillable areas of an object. For example, for a text field, you can apply one type of border and fill to the overall object and another type of border and fill to the value area that displays data. These objects have fillable areas:

•	Command buttons

•	Check boxes

•	Signature Fields

•	Drop-down lists

•	List boxes

•	Numeric fields

•	Password fields

•	Radio buttons

•	Text fields

1.	Select the object.

2.	In the Object palette, click the Field tab. From the Appearance list, select Custom.

3.	Select a style for the border of the fillable area. The options are the same as those in the Border palette.

4.	If applicable for the object, type a border width and select a color for the border.

5.	To have notched corners, click one of the Corners buttons and in the Radius box, define the corner radius (in inches, centimeters, or points).

6.	To fill the fillable area with color or a pattern, select an option from the Style list and using the adjacent color selector buttons, select appropriate fill colors.
