How to Change Border Color

I need to change the border color on a Pages template (the "Classic Brochure" in the Brochures collection of templates).

The first leaf of page 1 has a border color that I cannot figure out how to edit. The other two leafs' border colors are a snap to edit.

How do I change the border color of the first leaf/panel on page one (having a pair of garden images at its top).

Thanks, in advance, for your guidance.

PowerBook G4, Mac OS X (10.4.11)

Hi Warren,

The first border appears to be a graphic that was imported, whereas the second and third borders are simply a colored rectangle with an outline behind a plain white rectangle. You should be able to delete the border on the first panel and replace it with the same scheme used on the other two panels.

If I’m looking at the same border in the same template, (Vineyard Bed & Breakfast?) you can change the color by carefully clicking so that you get the normal 6 handles and choosing your fill color in the Graphics Inspector. It’s really a large rectangle with another slightly smaller rectangle over it. That’s why you have to be very precise in selecting it.

Thanks, Jerrold and Walt:

Following each of your suggestions, I found out conclusively that Jerrold's evaluation is right on. That leaf's border turns out to be an imported image of and by itself. After selecting the border image and clicking "Delete," the border disappeared.

To recreate the border effect (as shown on leaf 2 and 3) onto leaf 1 is easy; amounting to simply copying and pasting the pair of bordered rectangles and setting the "Font"/"Back" attributes accordingly for each feature on that leaf.

Thank you both for your prompt and helpful e-replies. Case is closed.
