Edit a Shared Border
To make
changes to a shared border, you can open a page in the Web that uses the shared
border or you can open the file that contains the shared border that you want to
change.

Web page appears to use a table format. If you view the HTML code by clicking
the HTML tab, you only see the HTML for the central page. You do not see any of
the HTML code for the shared borders.
