Ah, yes. Fill color and stroke color were both set to white. So of course I couldn't see the border. Changing it to black creaated the border I was looking for.
Thank you very much.

How do I create a border around a text box?
I have a text box in a document and there are border style and width options under Properties. But there is no border around my box regardless. I looked through the FAQs and the online manual, but I didn't see how to create a visible border around a text box.

Extract page is greyed out. Is it because the document is locked?
I am trying to extract a page from a document but that feature is greyed out.
Is this because the document is locked?
If so, how do I unlock it? It was sent to me from outside our organization.

The typewriter feature is creating a very large box.
I frequently use the Typewriter feature and I must have changed the settings because now the box that it creates is much larger. It didn't do this before.
This only makes a difference when the box is covering existing text on the PDF document.
