Adding only a left side border
I am trying to add a left border to a couple of text within a paragraph. But
every single time I select the text and go to select the left border, Word will automatically but a border all around the text for me. If I try to deselect those other border it will deselect everything including the left border. It works fine if I'm working with paragraph, but not selected text within a paragraph. Is there a way to add only a left border to selected text? |

Is there a way to add only a left border to selected text? Unfortunately, that's the way borders have always worked on any piece of text less than an entire paragraph. The dialog is misleading. The only way I can think of that works is to use a line from the Drawing tools. -- 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. |

Adding only a left side border
Thanks for your suggestion, but doesn't the draw function interfere with the
text formatting? I was also thinking of using some kind of drawing tool to draw a line, if word had such a tool. Anyways, it seems separating the text into artificial paragraph, placing the border, and reintegrating them work. Nevertheless, it's a cumbersome process and idiotic. People at microsoft, please do something about this simple matter.
