The asterix has no default meaning, it is up to the command itself how to interpret it. Not all commands interpret the asterix in a special way. In general, you have to check the command documentation. > What would be the best way of discovering what the asterisk would do in > this specific command?

Not at all. Just put an asterisk after \AddToShipoutPicture, i.e., use \AddToShipoutPicture* and only the first produced page will have the border. Regards, and I don't want to bother you, You're welcome. It Worked like a charm...Thanks Again :-) Does the asterisk have a special meaning?! Cause I know that with Part and Subsection the asterisk means that it will or will not be numbered parts or sections. What would be the best way of discovering what the asterisk would do in this specific command? (It is just for information, learn about LATEX and LYX). Marcelo

I don't think that is so uncommon, maybe you simply didn't think that
your problem was related to watermarks and didn't search for the right
thing.

It is a matter of using the right keywords. The following URL should help:

Not at all. Just put an asterisk after \AddToShipoutPicture, i.e.,
use \AddToShipoutPicture* and only the first produced page will have
the border.

You're welcome.

Put the following lines in the preamble and adjust as needed.
\usepackage{eso-pic}
\newlength{\boxwidth}
\newlength{\boxheight}
\setlength{\boxwidth}{\paperwidth}
\setlength{\boxheight}{\paperheight}
\addtolength{\boxwidth}{-2cm}
\addtolength{\boxheight}{-2cm}
\AddToShipoutPicture{%
\setlengt...@tempdimb}{1cm}%
\setlengt...@tempdimc}{1cm}%
\put(\st...@pt\@tempdimb,\st...@pt\@tempdimc){%
\hbox{\fboxrule=3pt\fbox{\vbox to \boxheight{%
\vss\hbox to \boxwidth{\hss}\vss%
}
