You can apply a border to selected text in the Borders dialog. To access the
dialog, click the arrow beside the border button (bottom right) in the
Paragraph group, and choose Borders and Shading from the menu. You can
select the color and weight of the desired line. What you can't do is select
a border on one, two, or three sides; borders on selected text are on all
four sides only. Nor can you change the distance from the text.

An even easier way is to select the text and choose Outside Borders on the
Borders menu to apply the current default border.
