Hi Paul, Thanks for responding. A macro presents several different problems (some figures are maps or other different animals and they do not get borders, plus no one here knows how to distribute macros to freelancers).

What I'm really hoping is that there is a simple way to get rid of the white line that appears to the left of the photo when I use the Text border style.

If all else fails, I can record a simple macro that adds the border, but I would have to go and install it on everyone else's machine, and for freelancers, that would be more of a problem.

Do you know, are there any other threads around that might have graphic specialists?

Thanks again for your help
