Header and Footer Border
I inheritated a number of long documents, and need to apply borders to both
the Headers and Footer. When I apply the border, the only choice I have is to apply to Paragraph. I need to go through each section (there are a lot of section breaks) and continually apply borders. Is there a way to apply the border in the Header/Footer to Entire Document. Thanks from a weary Word user. Paul |

Add the border to the Header and Footer styles. See

Hi Paul
By default, text in a header is formatted in Header style, and text in a footer is formatted in Footer style. If your documents are using these default styles, then you can modify the Header and Footer styles to put a border around it. That will affect the whole document in one go. For information on how to modify a style, see How to modify styles in Microsoft Word http://www.ShaunaKelly.com/word/styl...ifyAStyle.html Hope this helps. Shauna Kelly.

Sorry about previous, clicked Post before I asked one more question:
Modifying the style is a great time saver, but how can I supress the border on the Title Page if I apply the border by using the Header or Footer style. I could get it off by turning off Same as Previous, it came off the remainder of the document as well. "PA" wrote: Terrific, thank you both.

If your title page is a separate section (or a separate First Page
Header/Footer), just remove the border from the Header/Footer paragraph on that page only (after disabling Same as Previous in the related header of the following section, if any). Provided you don't have automatic updating enabled for the Header and Footer styles, this will remove the border from the (blank) header and footer on the title page. -- Suzanne S.
