[Harry Pfleger]

In the Page Border dialog it is only possible to set a border width of 6pt.
We should have a border width of about 15mm (millimetres).

Is there a workaround to get a higher width?

I saved the document as docx, zipped it and changed the value by hand (document.xml).
It did work, but I could only go for about 1000 (that must be about 10mm).

w:top w:val="single" w:sz="1000" w:space="0" w:color="92D050" /

Any suggestions or explanations why this is limited?
Thankx!

You can use clip art instead. See

.... or you can use an autoshape.
