Use these fields to position the line or frame precisely on the Form Template.

Line Width
Specify the width in pixels of the line or frame. If you are adding a line, you can also use 'Paste Special' to choose a Style: the font size in the Style will determine the width of the line.

Format
This field is only available if you are adding a frame. If you set the Format to 1, the frame will be printed repeatedly down the page.

Colour
Paste Special    Choices of possible entries
If you need the line or frame to be in a particular colour, specify that colour here.

Condition
