how do I put borders around columns that look like page borders?
I have a page that I want to have a border around each column that looks like
a page border because I want to fold the page in half. I have tried using a paragraph border but it does not get very close to the edge of the page and it also does not include my footer inside of the border. Any one know how I can accomplish what I am hoping to do? |

Answer: how do I put borders around columns that look like page borders?
Sure, I can help you with that! Here's how you can put borders around columns that look like page borders in Microsoft Word:
Your text or page should now have a border around it that looks like a page border. If you want to adjust the position of the border, you can do so by adjusting the margins of the page.

how do I put borders around columns that look like page borders?
There is a way, but not with columns. Assuming you have Word 2000 or above,
go to Page Setup | Margins: Multiple pages and choose "2 pages per sheet." This will give you two logical pages per physical sheet of paper, and each of them can be treated exactly like an ordinary page, including adding a page border. -- Suzanne S.

I have tried that but it puts it in landscape view and I need it in portrait.
I have tried in both office 2003 and office 2007 and same result. Thank you thought "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: There is a way, but not with columns.

So you've got one section above another? In that case I'm not sure how
you're using columns in the first place. Why not just use a three-row bordered table (the middle row for the space between the sections)? I'm also not sure what including the footer has to do with it since surely you don't have footer text. You can reduce the footer margin to zero and reduce the bottom margin accordingly. -- Suzanne S.

borders around columns
Just stumbled across this old query whilst trying to find how to get two A5 sheets with a border on each onto one page. However, now discovered the quickest route is simply to go into Page Layout - select A5 size with portrait orientation - put in your required width of border - set up margins as required ... and now the lateral thinking bit: Keep pressing Enter key until you've scrolled down to a 2nd page and then go into Print Options and select "2 pages per sheet" - and lo and behold you get two A5 sheets with borders on one page. Type in whatever you need and print off and save as required.

borders around columns
This is a little jumbled. The easiest way to do this is to retain the A4
paper size but select "2 pages per sheet" on the Margins tab of Page Setup (not in the Print dialog), then select Landscape orientation. This will give you two A5 pages on an A4 sheet. You can then use Format | Borders and Shading | Page Borders to add a border to each page. It is also not necessary to add empty paragraphs (by pressing the Enter key) to get a second page; pressing Ctrl+Enter will insert a page break. The page border will automatically be repeated on each page. All of this is detailed in the thread below. -- Suzanne S.
