by In Microsoft Word, you can add page borders to your documents to enhance their appearance or to create decorative elements. Page borders are lines or graphics that surround the content on a page. Here’s how to use page borders in Word step by step:
For Word 2013 and later versions:
- Open Microsoft Word: Launch Microsoft Word and either create a new document or open an existing one where you want to add a page border.
- Open the “Design” Tab:
- In Word 2013 and later versions, you’ll find the “Design” tab on the Ribbon at the top of the application window.
- Select “Page Borders”:
- Click on the “Design” tab to access various design-related options.
- Look for the “Page Borders” button within the “Page Background” group. Click on it to open the Page Borders dialog box.
- Choose the Page Border Options:
- In the Page Borders dialog box, you’ll see several tabs, such as “Borders,” “Page Border,” “Shading,” and “Options.” Here’s what you can do in each tab:
- Customize Border Settings:
- Adjust the border settings in the “Borders” and other relevant tabs to get the desired look for your page border.
- Preview the Border:
- As you make changes in the Page Borders dialog box, you can preview how the border will appear in the Preview section on the left side of the dialog box.
- Apply the Page Border:
- Once you’re satisfied with the border settings, click the “OK” button to apply the page border to your document. The border will be added according to the settings you selected.
- Save Your Document:
- Make sure to save your document to retain the page border settings.
Your Word document now has a page border that surrounds its content. You can further customize or remove the border by revisiting the “Page Borders” button under the “Design” tab and adjusting the settings as needed.
