      I seem to remember seeing a post about a trick that allows you to control a segment of a frame (or I suppose any object?) separately from the main settings for that frame. What I'm trying to do is to set two adjacent sides (say, top and side) of a picture frame to one color, and the other two to a different color. Possible?

      One workaround might be to create an inside bevel and use the Highlight and Shadow color, setting them to Normal and 100% opacity. But if anyone knows a straightforward way to do this that I could also include in an Object Style, that would be great!

      Thanks.

      How about a single-cell table? You can control the colours, width etc., of each border of the cell independently and you can place just about whatever content you wish in the cell. The space around the content can also be set independently on all four sides.

      Sounds like that might be the trick I was thinking of. I'm definitely interested if anyone has another suggestion, but I'll give that a try. Thanks!
