I think the question is about margins and/or rulers, rather than
border(line)s around paragraphs.

In that case, Kathy's solution would be the right one -- but in this
case, google doesn't even show me an author entry in the message list,
unlike the many items that were posted night-before-last that show me
no message when I click on them (someone else noted the same problem
in another thread recently).

One other thing to look at, from the menu, select Tools, Options. On the
options screen, select the General tab. You should have a Measurement Units
list that includes Inches, Points, Centimeters, etc...

how can we change measurement for page border from pt into centimeter

Unfortunately, neither your answer nor the one I posted will do what ferari
asked for. Having gone and looked, the Page Border dialog's Width dropdown
allows only the choices that are hard-coded into it, all of which are in points.
Even with a macro, you're limited to the same selection of widths.

If you want a border with a specific width in centimeters, you can calculate the
equivalent in points (multiply the number of centimeters by 28.35) and choose
the nearest available entry from the dropdown.
