Default Creating Custom Page Borders

Hello

I am following Ms. Hill's suggestion on how to create a custom page
border (sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/BorderArt.htm) but I got stuck in
the first step. It says there

"To assist you in placing the clip art, insert a temporary page border.
Use the default solid line and box border. Click Options... and change
the "From edge of page" setting to 31 points."

I coldn't find Options related to Border and Shading anywhere on my
word. I just have a blank page. Do I need to install something else?

Many thanks

Ed

Are you inserting a Page Border? On the Page Border tab of Format | Borders
and Shading, click the Options... button.

Default Creating Custom Page Borders

Hello

Many thanks. I managed to follow the whole howto except for the part of
removing the temporary border (black line around the picture frame).
