Border around a word
You can apply a border to selected text in the Borders dialog. To access the
dialog, click the arrow beside the border button (bottom right) in the Paragraph group, and choose Borders and Shading from the menu. You can select the color and weight of the desired line. What you can't do is select a border on one, two, or three sides; borders on selected text are on all four sides only. Nor can you change the distance from the text. An even easier way is to select the text and choose Outside Borders on the Borders menu to apply the current default border. -- Suzanne S.

Border around a word
Hello, Suzanne.
That is not the border for which I am looking. The Paragraph border box goes the width of the page; the border I want only goes around the word. I made a Quick Style of each and found the following border formats: Paragraph border: Border: Box: (Single solid line, Auto, 0.5 pt Line width) Word Help border: Border: : (Single solid line, Custom Color(RGB(171,191,224)) Where do I find the border format without the "Box". || "Suzanne S.

Did you have text selected when you applied the border? If you have text
selected, the border will be applied only to the selected text, not the paragraph. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Mecalith" wrote in message ...

Thank you, Suzanne.
I was trying to border an isolated word. When I bordered a word in a string, it worked fine. || "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Did you have text selected when you applied the border?

If you had just one word in a paragraph, then Word was likely selecting the
paragraph mark as well. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Mecalith" wrote in message ... Thank you, Suzanne. I was trying to border an isolated word.

Hello, Suzanne.
You are right. When I excluded the paragraph mark the border worked fine. Thanks, that will save me adding dummy text. || "Suzanne S.
