Borders-larger than 6pt?
I am trying to creat a plain old teal border, but I need it to be wider than
6pt. Any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong, and what I can do to make it wider? |

Answer: Borders-larger than 6pt?
Sure, I can help you with that! By default, Microsoft Word limits the border size to 6pt, but there are a few workarounds you can use to create a wider border.
Option 1: Use a Shape
Option 2: Use a Table
I hope this helps you create the wider border you need!

What version of Word and what are you trying to put the border on (table, picture, page, etc).

It can't be done with the Borders & Shading dialog, but it can be done with an AutoShape rectangle. If this is going to be a page border for all pages, open the Header pane. Anything you draw anywhere on the page while the Header pane is open will be repeated on all pages. Display the Drawing toolbar and select the rectangle tool. Draw a box around the entire text area of the page. Right-click the box and choose Format AutoShape. In that dialog, set the color to No Fill, set the line color to teal, and set the weight to the thickness you want. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |
