Add Boxes Around Foods

Boxes can really make foods stand out. But sometimes you might want put a box around a group of items too.

To do so, choose a normal style box (single line box, solid box, dotted box, etc.) and make the adjoining items have the same type of box and the exact same color. If your items are in the same column and close enough together (not spaced more than about 1/2 inch apart) iMenuPro will surround them automatically with your chosen box style and color.

Example of solid box around 2 food items

Example of dotted box around a heading and 3 food items

Boxes work with food columns too when all items in the group have the same accent and color and at least one item at the top of the group is spanned, such as a subheading or even a {blank} food item. Additionally, keep the spacing of the items here set to Style or close to the style values.

Note

To disable boxes that are automatically joined together, simply tweak the accent color for the box above or below, and iMenuPro won’t join them together.

Box an Entire Section

A section (defined by a normal, alt-heading, or title heading and the subheadings and food items directly under it) can be boxed with a single command.

Right-click the top heading of the section and select Box this section. As long as the heading already has a box accent, all of the foods and any subheadings under the heading will be set to the same box/color thereby automatically joining them together with a single box of the same type and color.

You can also use this command to clear all accents from the section, by setting the top heading to none and then running the command.

Note

The heading type being used must have its accent color property set to colorized. If it’s not, you can set that with the Design > Accents command.
