Why does page borders not appear in my borders and shading format.

Contrary to the Word 3 online Help, when I select the options given for
putting a border around my pages, the page border option is not there. Why
not?

Because there is no such thing as Word 3.

Indeed there was such a thing! (Although I doubt you could get it run under
any version of Windows, and it's surely not what the poster has in mind.)

Word 3 (for DOS) was released in 1986, supplied as a box of 5.25 inch
floppies. It was back in the days when Microsoft was still small enough to
have to care about their customers, and supplied real documentation (in
hard-cover!) as part of the product.

What is DOS? ;-) You're right, I forgot about the DOS versions. I
used WordPerfect for DOS back then.

I was still using WordStar and XyWrite. I had converted to Word before I
ever got Windows (but continued to have to use WordPerfect for quite some
time afterward).
