Borders in word If you wish to make your document stand out or just one section of it, this is possible by using the Borders and Shading facility in word which you will find in Format on the top toolbar Now a slight word of caution:- When you first try to implement this tip you may get a warning which states :- Word cannot display the feature is not on your computer and would you like to install it. Which means you will need to have your Office disc to hand so just in case have it ready before continuing. To place a border around the whole document or page when the Borders and Shading window is open Select the Page Border tab The left side of the widow allows you to choose how you want the border to appear. A Plain Line, a Shadow, or 3D. Make your choice and if you do not like it, it is always possible to change it again by commencing again. The middle (the Style section), allows you to choose the type of line (dotted, dashed, solid, double, etc.), and the line color plus the width. Under the width choice there is an Art drop down list which has a variety of picture type borders available for your selection instead of a line. On the far right, you'll see a Preview of the border you're creating. It is continually updated. Below which is an Apply window, pull down the arrow to make your selection Remember this is a Page Border, not a paragraph or section, for this you must select the Borders Tab

Putting a border around a section As previously stated click Border Tab Here similar to page you can select the type etc., but you do not have the facility of an Art Window. If you just want a Paragraph leave the cursor at the end of it. If however, you want a Block Of Text or to include a Graphic/Picture You need to highlight that which you wish to enclose in a border. After you have highlighted the box on the right-hand side which displays Paragraph, pull down the arrow and you will be given the option of Text. Please note that if you have not highlighted this option is not displayed. So Panic Not.
