I am making an oval shape 3.5 " x 5". I have figured out how to make it a
color I want and the size I want. Is there a short cut on the tool bar I
can add so I could highlight the shape and add a prespecified border (like a
light floral border or a scrolly border as I do these a lot) and will it
automatically make the border in the autoshape I've selected -oval, square,
circle, etc?

Thanks.

BorderArt can do rectangles, click the lines menu, more lines, BorderArt. You'd
be better off using clipart for ovals and circles.

S&Query=oval
On the clipart site, click options, select 48, the best selections for ovals are
on pages 3 and 4.
