Adding a Page Border
With Word's Borders and Shading
facility you can add borders to individual blocks of text, whole paragraphs,
tables or whole pages. To display the Borders and Shading window, click on
the Format drop-down menu and choose Borders and Shading.

If you want to add a border to the
whole page make sure you click on the Page Border tab at the top of this
window. To add borders to paragraphs, text or tables you should use the Borders
section of the window.
Choose the type of border you would
like from the options on the left and then the line style, width and colour from
the boxes in the centre of the window. If you click the drop-down arrow
beside the Art box at the bottom of the window you will see a selection
of pictures you can use as a page border. When you have applied a border
you will see an example of it in the diagram at the right-hand side of the
window.

Use the Apply to box at the
bottom right-hand side of the window to choose whether to apply the border to
the whole document or just the first page of this section. If you click
the Options button you can set how far from the edge of your page/text
the border will be positioned. If you set your border too close to the
edge of the page your printer may not be able to print it, depending on its
capabilities.
