Grey border/white page
I used to use Wordpro and had my pageview set up so there was a grey border round a white page, so it looked like it was a photo frame. I can't seem to do that in Word 2002. Or am I missing something? |

You can add a border to pages in Word: On the Format menu, click
Borders and Shading. Click the Page Border tab. I can't guarantee that Word has an exact equivalent to what you used in Word Pro, but there are some options available, including using pictures ("Art"), at least if you have Word 2000 or later. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Web Sniffer" wrote in message news:1120138934.d354b38c0abfb7ae507ebbc6391bed23@t eranews...

If you use View=Print Layout and then use the Zoom control
to show page width or full page you should see a grey (or other color depending on your Windows color scheme settings) surround of the 'page' ======== "Web Sniffer" wrote in message news:1120138934.d354b38c0abfb7ae507ebbc6391bed23@t eranews...

Or am I missing something? I don't think it does what I want. It's the "pasteboard" that's shaded. What I want is to be able to shade the area between the edge of the page and the area where the text is typed. |

What I want is to be able to shade the area between the edge of the page and the area where the text is typed. What's the purpose of shading this border? If it's to indicate where the edges of the text area are, Word does that a little differently. Go to Tools Options View and check the box for "Text boundaries". You'll get a thin grey line around the text area, but not full shading all the way to the paper's edge. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |

Word is not WordPro. You can't expect two programs to share every single
feature. I used to use AOHell. I didn't complain when I changed ISP and they said I have to use Outlook Express which looks NOTHING like AOL mail. I adapted. And be glad your mom didn't get upset as you grew older. ;-) -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "Web Sniffer" wrote in message news:1120171480.e1d8d6aee43a26544b0f8cbcfd51fb19@t eranews... (snip) It's just that I'm comfortable with a page looking how I'm used to, and I'm a bit surprised here isn't the flexibility in Word to do it. |
