Make borders wrap around multiple lines

Morning all - when i have a border around a paragraph style (layout name in this case), and the text needs to wrap to the next line for space reasons, how do I make the box encompass the whole text area? It seems to assume the text will only be one line.

Thanks!

You can add a border to the (green) text frame instead.

Hi @gdgross, beside the useful suggestion by @jesele, I cannot reproduce your issue (using just the border of the Paragraph Style).

Can you post your file and specify if the Layout name open should be:

A.
…in the same bordered box as the SCARLET’S KEY text (on a further line) an ORIG. E text (on a further line):

B.
…or this?, in two different frames/boxes:

Thanks guys! @jesele s suggestion worked great, but I had to realign the top “lead sheet” box away from the edge, since the padding of the layout name paragraph style and the padding on the text box don’t have the same properties as far as extending into the margin. all good tho.

@Christian_R if you’re feeling extra and want to take a look, the file’s attached. (just a lead sheet for our cover band, slowly moving everything I have into Dorico from finale still, and I like the way things look in dorico better, so I’m redo-ing a fair amount of them.) :slight_smile:
