Put Border In Word For Program Mac

 

Though fancy programs and machines can be really great, it is possible to make pretty labels just using Microsoft Word. In my opinion, it is the simplest program to navigate, and it still gives beautiful, fully-custom results.

How To Put Border In Word

'Cell padding' as such does not exist in Word, but you can try these:(I have Word 2007 2010 for Windows right now, but the commands should be similar)

Put Border In Word For Program Mac
  • Open Borders and Shading dialog (Ribbon -> Home Tab, Paragraph sub tab, click on the arrow near the 'Borders' icon)
  • Click on 'Borders and Shading'
  • Click on 'Options...'
  • Adjust the values in 'From text'

For the left and right 'padding' the 'Left Indent', 'Right Indent' and 'Hanging Indent' handles in the ruler may help (View Tab - > Show/Hide -> Ruler if the ruler is not visible)

(Unable to upload images from my workplace. Will upload from home later today)

Edit: Added images(realized after 3 years, screenshots from Word 2010, instructions pretty much the same)

There is no command to place a border on a page. However, it is quite easy to draw a border. Set your margins and then resize the Pages document window so you can see the entire page. Under the view menu, select 'Show Layout' and 'Show Rulers'. Now insert a rectangle or rounded rectangle shape, resize and move it as you like. Open the inspector and select the Graphics tab. Select the background and line colors, etc. Under the Arrange menu, select 'Send Objects to Background' and you'll probably also want to select 'Lock'. You might also want to capture the page (Format > Advanced > Capture) if you intend to make a multi-page document.
Yes, this is a bit more involved than Word but it isn't that big a deal. I've created a template with about 10 different border styles and I pull it out whenever I need it.
