Summary

Used with the textStyle property to specify that a chunk of text in a field has a three-dimensional box drawn around it.

Syntax

threeDBox

Description

Use the threeDBox keyword to emphasize text by drawing a box around it.

The top and left edges of the box are drawn in the object's bottomColor and bottomPattern. The bottom and right edges of the box are drawn in the object's topColor and topPattern.

If the text crosses more than one screen line, a box is drawn around each line of the text. If the text has mixed styles, a separate box is drawn around each style run. For example, if three words are boxed and the last is also boldfaced, a box is drawn around the first two words, and another box is drawn around the boldfaced word.

An object or chunk of a field may have the style box or threeDBox, but not both at once.

Examples

set the textStyle of line 1 to 3 of field "Table" to threeDBox
