Thank you, Suzanne.
I was trying to border an isolated word. When I bordered a word in a
string, it worked fine.

Did you have text selected when you applied the border? If you have text
selected, the border will be applied only to the selected text, not the
paragraph.

Hello, Suzanne.

That is not the border for which I am looking. The Paragraph border box
goes the width of the page; the border I want only goes around the word.

I made a Quick Style of each and found the following border formats:
Paragraph border:
Border: Box: (Single solid line, Auto, 0.5 pt Line width)
Word Help border:
Border: : (Single solid line, Custom Color(RGB(171,191,224))
Where do I find the border format without the "Box".

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.
