BORDER PROBLEM.jpg

Here is an attachment of something I am working on.

As you can see, the letter circled in red, (which is "bar number" text) has a square border around it.

Why isn't the number centered inside the border, and how can I center it?

Also while we're at it, how can I make the border wider/taller, leaving more room between the letter and the border's edge?

Thanks guys.

In Sib 6

House Style>Edit Text Styles>Boxed Text (from the list), then click on Edit and tab to Border.

You'll have to do a bit of fiddling around with the percentages in the boxes to get the visual result that you require.
