Re: Illustrator for layout
It is possible to
create this effect with the Drop Shadow filter, by setting the blur to
0%, the opacity to 100%, and the color to whatever you like. Once the
shadow is created, you can grab its corners and drag it out to make it
appear behind the whole image (or better yet, grab both the shadow and
the placed image, and use the align tool to get it perfectly
centered).
(Whenever using
Quark, I often prefer to quote Chewbacca:
aaaaaaaaahhhhrrrrrrrrggggaaaaaaa!)

I'm afraid your
answer is no. I always end up drawing a new box. There might be a
filter out there that does this automatically, but I haven't seen
it.

Hi again Illustrator
buddies-
Can one put a frame around
Placed images in Illustrator (10)?
(without drawing a
completely separate box and putting it behind..)
The manual and my afternoon
seem to indicate the answer is no, so in
the immortal words of
Princess Leia-
you are my only
hope...
-Clara
