Apply stroke on one corner of a text frame

New Here ,
Aug 18, 2023 Aug 18, 2023

Hi, 

I have recently started working with Indesign, having had much experience with Microsoft Word.

I was looking for a way to apply a stroke to one corner of a text frame, which I found here.
https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/stroke-on-only-one-side-of-a-square/m-p/3137746#...

One thing, which was not mentioned there was, we have to apply this method to strokes only (not to the whole object).

For this we need to go to:

Window > Effects > Select 'stroke' 

 

And then apply the trick above.

I don't like this approach as it adds 'transparency' to the page - and as a print guy it sends shivers up my spine. 

 

There are other options

Instead of a Text Frame - you can use a Table - and the table can be stroked independently on all sides

 

And with new features -  you can use Paragraph Borders - even rounding corners
