BorderArtFormat Object (Publisher)
Represents the formatting of the BorderArt applied to the specified shape.
Remarks
BorderArt are picture borders that can be applied to text boxes, picture frames, or rectangles.
Example
Use the BorderArt property of a shape to return a BorderArtFormat object.
The following example returns the BorderArt of the first shape on the first page of the active publication, and displays the name of the BorderArt in a message box.
Dim bdaTemp As BorderArtFormat
Set bdaTemp = ActiveDocument.Pages(1).Shapes(1).BorderArt
MsgBox "BorderArt name is: " &bdaTemp.Name
Use the Set method to specify which type of BorderArt you want applied to a picture. The following example tests for the existence of BorderArt on each shape for each page of the active document. Any BorderArt found is set to the same type.
Sub SetBorderArt()
Dim anyPage As Page
Dim anyShape As Shape
Dim strBorderArtName As String
strBorderArtName = Document.BorderArts(1).Name
For Each anyPage in ActiveDocument.Pages
For Each anyShape in anyPage.Shapes
With anyShape.BorderArt
If .Exists = True Then
.Set(strBorderArtName)
End If
End With
Next anyShape
Next anyPage
End Sub
You can also use the Name property to specify which type of BorderArt you want applied to a picture. The following example sets all the BorderArt in a document to the same type using the Name property.
Sub SetBorderArtByName()
Dim anyPage As Page
Dim anyShape As Shape
Dim strBorderArtName As String
strBorderArtName = Document.BorderArts(1).Name
For Each anyPage in ActiveDocument.Pages
For Each anyShape in anyPage.Shapes
With anyShape.BorderArt
If .Exists = True Then
.Name = strBorderArtName
End If
End With
Next anyShape
Next anyPage
End Sub
Note
Because Name is the default property of both the BorderArt and BorderArtFormat objects, you do not need to state it explicitly when setting the BorderArt type. The statement
Shape.BorderArtFormat = Document.BorderArts(1)
is equivalent to
Shape.BorderArtFormat.Name = Document.BorderArts(1).Name
Use the Delete method to remove BorderArt from a picture. The following example tests for the existence of border art on each shape for each page of the active document. If border art exists, it is deleted.
Sub DeleteBorderArt()
Dim anyPage As Page
Dim anyShape As Shape
For Each anyPage in ActiveDocument.Pages
For Each anyShape in anyPage.Shapes
With anyShape.BorderArt
If .Exists = True Then
.Delete
End If
End With
Next anyShape
Next anyPage
End Sub
