You can change the line style – for example, dashed lines – for the outline of one or more selected objects (here: drawings).
Note: By outline, we mean the contour of an object and not the border of its frame. For more information on borders, see Borders.
Proceed as follows:
| 1. | Select one or more drawing objects with the Object tool  from the Quick access toolbar. |
| 2. | Choose the ribbon command Format | group Format | Line style  . |
| Tip: If the object does not yet have an outline, or if you have selected No line to remove the line, you must first apply a Line color. |
| 3. | You can now select between different line forms in the dropdown list of the command, and the currently selected line form will be indicated by a check mark in front of it. If you select Custom in this dropdown list, you open a dialog box in which you can enter individual spaces for dashed lines. |
Notes
▪You cannot change the line style for the outline of pictures and text boxes.
