Open the Borders and Shading dialog box (click the Format menu and select Borders and Shading ) and click the Page Border tab (see Figure 6.4). Figure 6.4. Borders can be placed around an entire page. -
Select the Border setting and style as you would for a paragraph border. -
Click the Apply To list drop-down arrow and select one of the following: -
Whole Document Places a border around each page in the document. -
This Section Places a border around each page in the current section of the document. -
This Section-First Page Only Places a border around the first page of the current section. -
This Section-All Except First Page Places a border around each page of the current section except the first page of the section. To put a border around pages in a section, you must place sections in your document. Sections enable you to break a large document into smaller parts that can have radically different formatting attributes. For more about sections and how to create them, see Lesson 20, "Working with Larger Documents." | | Section A portion of a document that has been defined as a discrete part.
