Surround text with a box?

Posted 9 years ago

Short of sacrificing a score of oxen, is there any easy way to surround text with a box?

Thanks,

Dean Sparrow

Hi,

are you talking about a text cell or an output cell?

Framed["No idea!"]

Cheers,

Marco

I prefer a text cell.

Thanks.

There's an icon for that in the Classroom Assistant palette. From the toolbar, choose Palettes->Classroom Assistant. Now open the Typesetting tab and look on the 4th row (from the top) and over to the 3rd icon. (I am referring to MMA 10.4 menus.) If your text already exists, highlight the text and then click the icon. If the text does not yet exist, put the cursor where you want the frame to be, click on the icon and then fill in the text.

Please post a screenshot of what you mean, a 'text cell' is still very ambiguous...

There is like Panel, Pane, Framed, InputField, Highlighted, Grid, Row, Column... all with plenty of options for colors and so on...

Thanks. You saved twenty oxen from a bloody end.
