Add a border to a slide with VBA

Hi,

Is there a simple way to add a rectangular border to a slide with VBA code?

Is this done with AddShape?

I would appreciate any help.

I would add a rectangle using addshape with the Left and Top = the inset
needed and the width and height based on slideheight/slidewidth less twice
the inset.
