I am having problems trying to use borders in a newsletter.

First, I was asked to use one of the borders in "Art" (Christmas trees) for
one page. If I click on "this section," every page in the section has the
border. I do not see an option for just "this page." I only get options
for whole document," "this section," "this section - first page only," and
"this section - all except first page." How do I select a single specified
page for a border (such as, on page 3 out of a 4 page document)?

Second, when a border already exists on a page, how do I delete it (that is,
remove it not simply change it)?

Thank you,

MaryL

You need to use Sections to control where the borders are located. If you
only want the border on the front page, you need to insert a section break,
next page at the end of the first page. Now when you go to Format Borders,
Page Borders, you will see that you can select which section you want the
border: obviously if it is only for the front page, then choose the first
section.

It's not working. There seems to be something embedded in the document I am
using, or I am inadventently creating a problem. If I select "this
section," the borders always seem to appear either above or below where I
want them. If I select "section," it jumps to another section in the
document -- there is no selection for specific sections other than "this"
section.

The particular document I am working on is awkward because another member
e-mailed a page as she wanted it inserted in the newsletter. I can copy and
paste the document but not the border. The page she sent contains several
fonts, clip art, and text created with WordArt. I was not able to simply
use "insert" because it does not seem to fit any of the selections I can
make. If I choose "picture" for this particular file (which it is not, of
course), I get an error message. So, I would like to just copy and paste
the content of the document and then replace her border, but then I'm back
to my original problem. I can't get the border to attach to the correct
page. Ironically, I can "select all" and copy the entire page (including
border) into a new document, but the border disappears when I try to paste
it into this newsletter.

Incidentally, where should the cursor be positioned? I can position it to
the right of the dotted lines that show section break, or I can position it
above or below. However, I have not been able to position it to the far
right of the section break.

Thanks for any help. I am having a very hard time with this.

I am unable to help much with this. I don't which version of Word you are
using, which version was used to create the page you are trying to add or
how that user created the border you want to include.

Usually, if you place the cursor in your document and then use Insert, File
to add the other single page document, it should insert in total. How are
you inserting it? I suggest at the very top of your document, you insert a
Section Break, Next page which will leave you a blank front page. With the
cursor still on the front page, use Insert File and select the user's file.
Does that not bring in the whole page?

Sorry...I usually include that information but forgot it this time. I am
using Office 2007, but I have to work in compatibility mode because I create
the newsletter at home and then e-mail it to our church. They have Word
2003, so I have been saving everything as a Word 97-2003 document. I don't
know what version was used for the document I was trying to insert because
that came from still another source (a committee member who e-mailed the
flyer and asked to have it included in the newsletter). This flyer has a
couple of different fonts plus WordArt and some clipart.

I do not have an option for Insert: File. That is what I would have used in
WordPerfect, but I could not find it in Word. (On the other hand, I am a
newbie to Word.) I have these options in Word 2007: Picture, Clip Art,
Shapes, SmartArt, and Chart. I selected Picture because that seemed the
closest, but I am certainly open to suggestions! When I used Insert:
Picture for other documents, I was able to do it. But on this particular
document, I would either receive an error message (two occasions) or a
dialog box opened with a long list of options (which is what happened most
often). I did not recognize any of the options, and everything I clicked on
returned an error. The box included options such as Windows Enhanced
Metafile, Windows Metafile, and JPG File Interchange Format. There was a
long list of these names, and I am not familiar with any of them. Each
attempt to use one of them would result in "An error occurred while
importing this file."

I was finally able to reconstruct the file - after many attempts - by
copying and pasting the contents, then adding a border. Unfortunately, I am
not sure what I finally did that enabled it. I expect that the same
situation may occur in the future, so I would like to learn what I should be
doing. For example, where should the cursor be placed? Should it be on the
page where I want the border? That is what I expected, but that resulted in
a border jumping to a different page. This was one of the Art borders, and
I selected "this section."

I will also check with the person who created the flyer to see what version
of Word she used. If she is using Word 2007, I will ask her to save future
documents as Word 97-2003. Does it seem likely that this could be the
source of my problem?

Thanks for your help!

Users of Word (Office 2000-2003) can download the free Office 2007
compatibility pack which will allow them to open and edit documents from
Office 2007. It also provides them with all the new fonts that come with
Office 2007 for compatibility.

The Insert File command is not on a Ribbon. But you can add it to your QAT
by right-click on the QAT and selecting Customise. Then select All Commands
and scroll down to select Insert File and choose Add to put it on the QAT.

Thank you. I followed your instructions, saw the list with Insert: File,
added it, and checked on OK. But now I don't see it. Should it now appear
on the ribbon, or do I need to look elsewhere? The QAT ribbon looks just as
it did before.

On the Insert tab (Text group), choose Object, then Text from File. That's
the equivalent of Insert | File. Also, have you considered using the PDF

Thanks, Suzanne. I just tried Insert | File. It did import the text but
not the border (which is probably what would be expected). However, I was
easily able to add the border.

I have considered PDF and wonderef if that would work. I have never used
PDF myself (except for reading, but not for writing) but would be willing to
try it. The one thing that has slowed me down is that the secretary has
occasionally need to add a "last minute" note after I e-mail the newsletter,
and I don't think she could do that if I used PDF. Is that correct?

It's not working. There seems to be something embedded in the document
I am using, or I am inadventently creating a problem. If I select
"this section," the borders always seem to appear either above or below
where I want them. If I select "section," it jumps to another section
in the document -- there is no selection for specific sections other
than "this" section.

The particular document I am working on is awkward because another
member e-mailed a page as she wanted it inserted in the newsletter. I
can copy and paste the document but not the border. The page she sent
contains several fonts, clip art, and text created with WordArt. I was
not able to simply use "insert" because it does not seem to fit any of
the selections I can make. If I choose "picture" for this particular
file (which it is not, of course), I get an error message. So, I would
like to just copy and paste the content of the document and then
replace her border, but then I'm back to my original problem. I can't
get the border to attach to the correct page. Ironically, I can
"select all" and copy the entire page (including border) into a new
document, but the border disappears when I try to paste it into this
newsletter.

Incidentally, where should the cursor be positioned? I can position it
to the right of the dotted lines that show section break, or I can
position it above or below. However, I have not been able to position
it to the far right of the section break.

Thanks for any help. I am having a very hard time with this.

You need to use Sections to control where the borders are located. If
you only want the border on the front page, you need to insert a
section break, next page at the end of the first page. Now when you go
to Format Borders, Page Borders, you will see that you can select
which section you want the border: obviously if it is only for the
front page, then choose the first section.

I am having problems trying to use borders in a newsletter.

First, I was asked to use one of the borders in "Art" (Christmas
trees) for one page. If I click on "this section," every page in the
section has the border. I do not see an option for just "this page."
I only get options for whole document," "this section," "this
section - first page only," and "this section - all except first
page." How do I select a single specified page for a border (such as,
on page 3 out of a 4 page document)?

Second, when a border already exists on a page, how do I delete it
(that is, remove it not simply change it)?

Thank you,

MaryL

I never tried the Text from File option... I had no idea it was equivalent
to Insert, File. It sounds daft to me!

Sorry...I usually include that information but forgot it this time. I am
using Office 2007, but I have to work in compatibility mode because I
create the newsletter at home and then e-mail it to our church. They
have Word 2003, so I have been saving everything as a Word 97-2003
document. I don't know what version was used for the document I was
trying to insert because that came from still another source (a committee
member who e-mailed the flyer and asked to have it included in the
newsletter). This flyer has a couple of different fonts plus WordArt and
some clipart.

I do not have an option for Insert: File. That is what I would have used
in WordPerfect, but I could not find it in Word. (On the other hand, I
am a newbie to Word.) I have these options in Word 2007: Picture, Clip
Art, Shapes, SmartArt, and Chart. I selected Picture because that seemed
the closest, but I am certainly open to suggestions! When I used Insert:
Picture for other documents, I was able to do it. But on this particular
document, I would either receive an error message (two occasions) or a
dialog box opened with a long list of options (which is what happened
most often). I did not recognize any of the options, and everything I
clicked on returned an error. The box included options such as Windows
Enhanced Metafile, Windows Metafile, and JPG File Interchange Format.
There was a long list of these names, and I am not familiar with any of
them. Each attempt to use one of them would result in "An error occurred
while importing this file."

I was finally able to reconstruct the file - after many attempts - by
copying and pasting the contents, then adding a border. Unfortunately, I
am not sure what I finally did that enabled it. I expect that the same
situation may occur in the future, so I would like to learn what I should
be doing. For example, where should the cursor be placed? Should it be
on the page where I want the border? That is what I expected, but that
resulted in a border jumping to a different page. This was one of the
Art borders, and I selected "this section."

I will also check with the person who created the flyer to see what
version of Word she used. If she is using Word 2007, I will ask her to
save future documents as Word 97-2003. Does it seem likely that this
could be the source of my problem?

Thanks for your help!

I am unable to help much with this. I don't which version of Word you are
using, which version was used to create the page you are trying to add or
how that user created the border you want to include.

Usually, if you place the cursor in your document and then use Insert,
File to add the other single page document, it should insert in total.
How are you inserting it? I suggest at the very top of your document,
you insert a Section Break, Next page which will leave you a blank front
page. With the cursor still on the front page, use Insert File and
select the user's file. Does that not bring in the whole page?

You have to select Insert File and then click on the ADD button (slap bang
in the middle of the dialog). Then the command should appear in the list on
the right side. OK the dialog and the command should then be on your QAT.

When I tried it, it was not really the equivalent of WordPerfect's Insert |
File because it inserted the text and clipart but did not insert the
complete file. That is, it did not insert the border. I'm going to
experiment some more with it with larger documents, but I really wish I
could customize the QAF to include that command. (I just replied to you to

I haven't used the PDF Add-in in Word 2007, but I frequently create PDFs
with Adobe Acrobat in Word 2003, and it is very straightforward. But no, the
secretary would not be able to edit the PDF.

Thanks, Suzanne. I just tried Insert | File. It did import the text but
not the border (which is probably what would be expected). However, I was
easily able to add the border.

I have considered PDF and wonderef if that would work. I have never used
PDF myself (except for reading, but not for writing) but would be willing
to try it. The one thing that has slowed me down is that the secretary
has occasionally need to add a "last minute" note after I e-mail the
newsletter, and I don't think she could do that if I used PDF. Is that
correct?

version of Word she used. If she is using Word 2007, I will ask her to
save future documents as Word 97-2003. Does it seem likely that this
could be the source of my problem?

Thanks for your help!

I am unable to help much with this. I don't which version of Word you
are using, which version was used to create the page you are trying to
add or how that user created the border you want to include.

Usually, if you place the cursor in your document and then use Insert,
File to add the other single page document, it should insert in total.
How are you inserting it? I suggest at the very top of your document,
you insert a Section Break, Next page which will leave you a blank
front page. With the cursor still on the front page, use Insert File
and select the user's file. Does that not bring in the whole page?

It's not working. There seems to be something embedded in the
document I am using, or I am inadventently creating a problem. If I
select "this section," the borders always seem to appear either above
or below where I want them. If I select "section," it jumps to
another section in the document -- there is no selection for specific
sections other than "this" section.

The particular document I am working on is awkward because another
member e-mailed a page as she wanted it inserted in the newsletter. I
can copy and paste the document but not the border. The page she sent
contains several fonts, clip art, and text created with WordArt. I
was not able to simply use "insert" because it does not seem to fit
any of the selections I can make. If I choose "picture" for this
particular file (which it is not, of course), I get an error message.
So, I would like to just copy and paste the content of the document
and then replace her border, but then I'm back to my original problem.
I can't get the border to attach to the correct page. Ironically, I
can "select all" and copy the entire page (including border) into a
new document, but the border disappears when I try to paste it into
this newsletter.

Incidentally, where should the cursor be positioned? I can position
it to the right of the dotted lines that show section break, or I can
position it above or below. However, I have not been able to position
it to the far right of the section break.

Thanks for any help. I am having a very hard time with this.

You need to use Sections to control where the borders are located. If
you only want the border on the front page, you need to insert a
section break, next page at the end of the first page. Now when you
go to Format Borders, Page Borders, you will see that you can select
which section you want the border: obviously if it is only for the
front page, then choose the first section.

I am having problems trying to use borders in a newsletter.

First, I was asked to use one of the borders in "Art" (Christmas
trees) for one page. If I click on "this section," every page in
the section has the border. I do not see an option for just "this
page." I only get options for whole document," "this section," "this
section - first page only," and "this section - all except first
page." How do I select a single specified page for a border (such
as, on page 3 out of a 4 page document)?

Second, when a border already exists on a page, how do I delete it
(that is, remove it not simply change it)?

Thank you,

MaryL

Aha! That's it! I was looking at the ribbon and thought that was the same
as QAT because I right-clicked on the ribbon to customize. One more problem
solved. It does not import the border, but I was able to add one myself.
The text and clipart imported, so this helps a great deal.

Thank you very much.

Are you sure you're looking on the QAT? It's that thing that (unless
you've moved it below the Ribbon, as most of us do) is above the left end
of the Ribbon, next to the Office Button.

That's what I did. (That's what I meant when I said I "added it," but I
didn't make that clear.) I also clicked on OK to complete the process.
So, I just tried it again and got the response that it is "already on the
Quick Access Keyboard." However, I can't find it! The ribbon looks
exactly the same, and there is nothing new in the button.

You have to select Insert File and then click on the ADD button (slap
bang in the middle of the dialog). Then the command should appear in the
list on the right side. OK the dialog and the command should then be on
your QAT.

Thank you. I followed your instructions, saw the list with Insert:
File, added it, and checked on OK. But now I don't see it. Should it
now appear on the ribbon, or do I need to look elsewhere? The QAT
ribbon looks just as it did before.

Users of Word (Office 2000-2003) can download the free Office 2007
compatibility pack which will allow them to open and edit documents
from Office 2007. It also provides them with all the new fonts that
come with Office 2007 for compatibility.

The Insert File command is not on a Ribbon. But you can add it to your
QAT by right-click on the QAT and selecting Customise. Then select All
Commands and scroll down to select Insert File and choose Add to put
it on the QAT.
