I have just purchased TreeDraw v3 and was disappointed not to be able to put borders around my trees. Any chance this will be in a later version?

What sort of borders did you have in mind?
Simple boxes can be added using the rectangle tool.
Clip-art borders can be added by pasting an image into TreeDraw.

Nick, does your reply mean that I have to add a box manually to each item on the chart? The Help seems to imply that I can have a box applied automatically when importing data from Legacy. Is this false?
Thanks
Roy

I think this original topic was posted prior to version 3.
TreeDraw version 3 will create boxes around text automatically.
Fancy, clip-art, borders can also be added manually (around the whole chart presumably).

I tried to get boxes, using the import graphics settings, but it did not draw any boxes . How should it be done?
Thanks
Roy

Please use the "Boxed" option in the import dialog (where you select the root person for the tree).
