### 31.5.4 Positioning borders around inline graphics

If borders around inline graphics do not look right in Word output, try one of the following settings:

[Graphics]

; FrBorders = Frame (default, centered), Inside, Outside, or None

FrBorders=Frame

Each of the values for FrBorders (except None) moves the position of the border rectangle itself slightly. You might not see a difference unless the border is thick, because the move is just half the border thickness.

If you do not get satisfactory results with FrBorders, try the following option instead:

[Graphics]

; FrameBorders = No (default, no borders on inlined frames) or Yes

; This is best used when such frames are alone in their paragraphs.

; Should not be used unless FrBorders does not operate correctly.

FrameBorders=Yes

Both methods work for in-line graphic frames that are alone in their paragraphs. However, they do very different things:

• FrBorders adds the border rectangle to the WMF graphic itself before embedding it in the output.

• FrameBorders uses Word paragraph properties to set a border for the paragraph that contains the (in-line) frame.

Use one or the other, not both

If you set both FrBorders and FrameBorders, you might get a thicker border; or if the graphic is not alone in its paragraph, you might get a mess. For in-line graphics positioned “at insertion point”, if you set FrameBorders=Yes, and there is other text in the paragraph, the text gets the border along with the frame, all in one box together. Not likely to be what you want. This does not happen when you use FrBorders.

If you set neither FrBorders nor FrameBorders, any border around an in-line graphic is centered on the graphic.

Set line spacing above

To get the correct line spacing at the top of in-line frames, also specify the following setting:

[Graphics]

NoBlankFirstGTLine=No
