9.7 Borders and Shading
Notes
Word 2007 allows you to highlight headlines, captions, and other text of importance by applying a
border or shading to that text. You can apply it to a piece of text or to the full text.

Apply Borders and Shading

1. Select the text on which you want to apply Borders or Shading. Basically the rules to follow
this are:
• If no text is selected, the paragraph where the cursor is, will be taken as the starting point.
• If you select text within a single paragraph, but the paragraph mark itself is not included
in the selection, the results affect only the selected text.
• If you select text included in more than one paragraph (so that at lease one paragraph
mark is included in the selection), the results affect all the paragraphs in which any of the
selected text resides.
2. Open the Page Layout menu, and select Page Border.
3. Click Borders to work with options available under it.
• Under Setting, click one of the preset border options.
• Select None to remove all borders from the selected paragraph(s), Box to insert a box border
around the selected paragraph(s), and Shadow to insert a box border around the selected
paragraph(s) and apply preset shadow formatting to the border.
