When you apply a border from the Format Borders & Shading dialog to
any text less than a whole paragraph, it always creates all four
sides.

You can get one side of a box (but only a single line, nothing fancy)
by creating an EQ field with the appropriate switches. For example,
the following three fields insert the word TEXT with a left border, a
right border, and both:

{EQ \x \le (TEXT)}
{EQ \x \ri (TEXT)}
{EQ \x \le \ri (TEXT)}

explanation.
