Frame Color Fills

Color fill can be added to text and balloon annotations using the Fill Frame option from the Text properties. When selected, annotation's frame is filled with the selected color.

Note: You can add color only if the selected annotation has a frame.

Frame Margins

You can manage the horizontal and vertical margins of a text annotation using the Margin H and the Margin V options from the Text properties.

Notes:
  • The Margin H and Margin V boxes are available only if the selected annotation frame type supports the horizontal, vertical, or both margins.
  • Only the margins of variable frames can be managed.
