I am trying to add artistic borders to a Word document. The on line help
screen says "To specify an artistic border, such as trees, select an option
in the Art box." However, there is no Art box! How can I add more creative
borders to a document?
I am using Word from Office 2003.

From the Help file:

1. On the Format menu, click Borders and Shading, and then click the Page
Border tab.

2. To specify an artistic border, such as trees, select an option in the Art
box.

3. Click one of the border options under Settings.

To specify that the border appears on a particular side of a page, such as
only at the top, click Custom under Setting. Under Preview, click where you
want the border to appear.

4. To specify a particular page or section (section: A portion of a document
in which you set certain page formatting options. You create a new section
when you want to change such properties as line numbering, number of
columns, or headers and footers.) for the border to appear in, click the
option you want under Apply to.

5. To specify the exact position of the border on the page, click Options,
and then select the options you want.



PLEASE NOTE:
It's not an "art box", it's telling you where to look for a box in that
dialog box labelled "Art".

Border Art is available only for page borders, and you're limited to the
available options (you can't add designs). See
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/BorderArt.htm or use Publisher (if you
have it) for more flexible options.
