How to Insert Page Border in Word 2010

The Borders button enables you to turn borders on and off, So if you want a border that’s a different thickness, color, or line style, you must use the Borders and Shading dialog box.

1. Navigate to Page Layout and click page Borders.

2. Select a border type from the Setting icons along the left side of the dialog box:

None-Turns off all borders.

Box-Places an outside border in which all sides are the same thickness.

Shadow-Places an outside border, and places a shadow effect along the bottom and right sides.

3-D-Places an outside border with a 3D effect-in theory, anyway. In most cases, there is no difference in the result between Box and 3D.

Custom-Enables you to select and format each side individually. (You can start with any of the other settings, and when you start to change individual sizes, the setting changes to Custom automatically.)

3. On the Style list, select a line style.

4. On the Color list, select a line color.

5. On the Width list, select a line thickness.

6. Click OK to accept the new border
