I would like to insert an image into the stroke (border) of a shape. I remember I did it once but can not seem to repeat it. I only want to have the image in the border, not in the center of the image like it is currently doing.

I am using InDesign.

Make a shape with the desired stroke width in Illustrator:





Select the shape and access the menu Object > Expand...:





In the Expand options box, select the Stroke as the part of the graphic you'd like to outline:





Copy/Paste your new shape into InDesign
Import your border image into the InDesign file and simply Copy Command + C, then select your border shape and Paste Into Command + Option + V:







Double-click the link icon in the shape's top left corner to move the image around to the desired location.
