You cannot have a 'box' split across two pages. A workaround is to insert a
single cell table, then copy/paste your text into the table cell. That should roll over pages and give you the choice of table border format. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "Jorge Bravo" wrote in message ... Word 2002 How do I create a box around some text that I have ALREADY written? Thank you JB |

It depends on what sort of "box" you want. You can apply a border (to
selected text or to paragraphs). You can insert a text box or frame. You can place the text in a bordered table cell. You need to provide more information about what you're trying to accomplish. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Jorge Bravo" wrote in message ...

Presuming this is a 2-column Table, select the columns and choose Centre
Alignment. If you used a single column Table, then insert a Tab between the numbers (note you must use Shift+Tab to insert a Tab inside a table). Adjust the tab using the Ruler.

Thanks, but what I meant was that I have the table to the side of the page
and I want to wrap round text that I have above the Table. Can you help? thanks "Terry Farrell" escreveu na mensagem ...
