Each property has its own set of property values that you can use to specify the true and false conditions in the If expression. Usually you specify a number to indicate what you want. For example, if you are working with the Border property, you use the number 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 to specify a border.
Table 10-1 summarizes the properties available. A detailed description of each property follows the table. For a complete list of properties for each control, see the online Help.
Valid values of properties are shown in parentheses
in the Properties view wherever possible.
For example, the drop-down list showing border selections
includes the correct number for specifying each border in parentheses
after the name of the border (ShadowBox (1), Underline (4)).
