Changing the width of a shape - Post...

I would like to alter the width of the lines surrounding a box shape that I am adding to my website. Basically I'd like a large box with narrow lines, but when you drag the shape to increase the size, the width of the lines that shape the box also increase. Is there a way in VSD to alter the line width of a box shape? (Hope I have described this correctly :) )

Thanks..

That would best be done in another program (Photoshop, Gimp...). If you need to do it within VSD, you could put together 2 rectangles to get the look of a border around a box. For example; a white box with a red border (use whatever colors work for you) - drag out your first rectangle shape and make it red, then copy/paste and change the second one to white and size it just a few pixels smaller than the first one. Place it on top of the red box and group them.
