# Borders

Sets the border options for the selected objects in Writer or Calc.

You can specify the border position, size, and style in Writer or Calc. In LibreOffice Writer, you can add borders to pages, frames, graphics, tables, paragraphs, characters and to embedded objects.

To access this command...

(all options only in Writer or Calc)

Choose Format - Paragraph - Borders tab.

Choose Format - Image - Properties - Borders tab.

Choose Format - Frame and Object - Properties - Borders tab.

Choose Format - Page - Borders tab.

Choose Format - Character - Borders tab.

Choose View - Styles - open context menu of an entry and choose New/Edit Style - Borders tab.

Choose Format - Page - Header - More button.

Choose Format - Page - Footer - More button.

Choose Format - Cells - Borders tab.

To modify the border of an entire table, place the cursor in a table cell, right-click, choose Table, and then click the Borders tab. To modify the border of a table cell, select the cell, right-click, choose Table, and then click the Borders tab.

## Raspored linije

Select a predefined border style to apply.

Alternatively, use the Borders button on the toolbar to apply predefined border formats.

Icon on the Formatting Bar:

Rubovi

The Remove border option in the Adjacent Cells section determines if borders in the edges of the selected range are to be removed. Leave this option unchecked if edge borders should be left unchanged.

Read the help page User Defined Borders in Cells to learn more on how to define custom line arrangements.

## Linija

Click the border style that you want to apply. The style is applied to the borders selected in the preview.

Icon on the Formatting Bar:

Stil linije

Select the line color that you want to use for the selected border(s).

## Unutarnji odmak

Specify the amount of space that you want to leave between the border and the contents of the selection.

### Lijevo

Enter the distance that you want to have between the left border and the contents of the selection.

### Desno

Enter the distance that you want to have between the right border and the contents of the selection.

### Vrh

Enter the distance that you want to have between the top border and the contents of the selection.

### Dno

Enter the distance that you want to have between the bottom border and the contents of the selection.

### Sinkronizacija

Applies the same padding setting to all four borders when you enter a new distance.

## Stil sjene

You can also apply a shadow effect to borders. For the best results, only apply this effect when all four borders are visible.

Graphics or objects that are anchored to a frame in the document cannot exceed the size of the frame. If you apply a shadow to the borders of an object that fills an entire frame, the size of the object is reduced to display the shadows.

### Položaj

Click a shadow style for the selected borders.

### Udaljenost

Enter the width of the shadow.

### Boja

Select a color for the shadow.

## Svojstva

Specifies the properties for the current paragraph or the selected paragraphs.

### Merge with next paragraph

Merges the border style and the shadow style of the current paragraph with the next paragraph. These styles are only merged if the indent, border, and shadow styles of the next paragraph are the same as the current paragraph. This option is also available for Paragraph Styles.

### Merge adjacent line styles

Merges two different border styles of adjacent cells in a Writer table into one border style. This property is valid for a whole table in a Writer document.

The rules can be condensed to the statement that the stronger attribute wins. If, for example, one cell has a red border of 2 point width, and the adjacent cell has a blue border of 3 point width, then the common border between these two cells will be blue with 3 point width.

### Reset

Resets changes made to the current tab to those applicable when this dialog was opened.

### Primijeni

Applies the modified or selected values without closing the dialog.
