English or French is just fine.

Sorry, no real answer there. I can talk to Franz about it. We can add it to the long to-do list. It certainly won't be in 1.1.5. > - I don't know how to create a frame with a special border.

You can also create a line style and just apply that to the line (under the edit, line styles menu). > Thank you, and happy new year, this is never too late :o) Thanks for joining us!
