In Word 97, I am able to shade the paragraph that's inside the text box.
This leaves me with about an 1/8 inch white border around the paragraph
shading that's inside the text box black line border. How do I make the
shading fill the entire space inside the text box border so it will look
nicer?

Don't use Format Borders & Shading for the text inside the text box.
Instead, right-click the edge of the text box, select Format Text Box,
and set the Fill option to the color you want.
