How to Make the Boarder Around Clip Art Dashes
- #1
Below is a clip art edge or possibly a frame. I wish I knew how to resize it to make it smaller, then perhaps someone could even offer a suggestion on doing that. Just what I want to exercise is learn how to take a prune fine art border, such as this, and use information technology in Pages to frame a folio, be it for a letter, or an email, or in Messages. I have searched high and low in Apple tree Assist, YouTube and the internet, have not found (or perhaps not recognized) instructions on how to practice this. Perhaps I am using the wrong terminology in my search - edge, frame, whatever. I tin notice all sorts of instructions on how to border a certificate with lines - thin, thick, dashed, fuzzy, etc - but aught on something like below. My goal is to either create the frame, and then blazon within it, or to blazon a document then add the frame around the outside of it. I guess another way of looking at it is to create a special stationery. Thanks for the help!

Or drag the border into pages as the prototype and arrange it to where you want > Format on the righthand side > Arrange > Stay on Folio > Click Lock to stop accidentally moving it.
Then use text boxes to position your text and y'all should be proficient to go.

Got second one to work sort-of. No luck nevertheless on outset. Will probably have some questions. Nearly looks like your instructions are for a different version of Pages than I accept. But think #ii will be a winner! Thanks!

Spent a lilliputian more time on #ii this morning time, and found all the steps y'all mentioned! Every bit to "drag the border into pages as the prototype", I put the epitome on the Desktop, and so just pulled it to the New Certificate that I created in Pages. Is that what you meant to practice?
