Category: Cartographic Design
Software: ArcView 3.2
Problem: How do I add a border to my map?
Description: Your map is in the Layout format and you would like to add a border.
Note:For help on getting your map into the Layout format, refer to recipe Shortcut to moving your map into the presentation stage (using a template)
Methodology:
1) Select the object or objects you would like to include within the border. If you would like the border to surround the entire presentation area (i.e., Neatline), do not select anything. This should be your last step before printing.

Select the appropriate styles and details for your border. Suggestion: Use the Inset from Margins selection if you would like to place a border around all map elements.
4) When you are finished click ok and the map border will appear.
5) To add another border select the object or objects you would like to include within the second border and repeat the above steps.
Note: Finding the appropriate settings for your border requires trial and error and also depends on your presentation style.
