Draw Border inside Frame functionality

Does anyone know what the property that sets or changes the "Draw Border
Inside Frame" functionality? This is a checkbox in the Autoshape format
dialog under Colors and Borders. It has been baffling me for some time, and
I cannot figure it out. I even examined two objects (one set true and one
false) in a watch window and could not see any difference... Any help would
be appreciated.

To add the border equally to both the inside and the outside of a rectangle,
rather than to the inside only, clear the Draw border inside frame check box.
This will help to prevent the border from overlapping objects that are located
inside of the rectangle.

Select the rectangle, and then click AutoShape on the Format menu.
Click the Colors and Lines tab and then clear the Draw border inside frame check
box.

Actually I was asking about the VBA property that would change that
functionality, and I found it. It is the InsetPen property which is Boolean.
ActiveDocument.Pages(1).Shapes(1).Line.InsetPen = msoTrue/msoFalse...

Cool, thanks for sharing your solution :)

(Although anything that takes "msoTrue" and "msoFalse" isn't Boolean,
it's msoTriState. Not that that makes a blind bit of different for 99%
of users.)
