Adding a border around
your page with
Microsoft Word 2007

            You can easily add a border around your scrapbook page. You can choose a simple line, double lines, dashes or designs, in a variety of colors and widths. There is also a wide variety of art borders to choose from.
            To add a border, click “Page Layout”, then click on the “Page Border” in the Page Layout menu bar (or "ribbon", as Microsoft now calls it.). A pop up menu will open. There are three tabs to choose from: “Border”, “Page Border” and “Shading”. You will want to click on “Page Border”.
            In the “Page Border” menu, you can choose a line style, the color of the line, and the width. Under the “Setting” choose “Box” to apply the selected border, or for a shadowing effect, choose “Shadowing”. You can also click on the “Art” option, and choose from the wide array of art borders.
            You also have the option to apply the border as a line, to just one side (or more) of the page. To do this, click on the various icons on the right side of the “Page Border” menu, under “Preview”.

Remember - if you are unhappy with a change you made to your page, simply click the "undo" icon in the upper left hand corner of your screen, and it will undo your most recent edit to the page.
