In dissertations, essays, projects … people often create borders around the text or around the outer cover to make writing more beautiful and scientific, making a good impression on the viewers.
Creating a border in Word is actually quite simple. Users can choose from different types of text frames, from solid lines, dashed lines or even add some textures that you like to the document frame. So if you insist, or you are new to Word and haven’t known how to create borders yet, here I will instruct you in details, to insert, edit and remove borders in Word.
I use MS Word version 2016.
If you want to create a border frame for a standard report, the first thing you need to do is set up the correct print page alignment format according to the report’s alignment guidelines.
Below is my suggestion for the alignment:
Top margin: 2 cm, Bottom margin: 2 cm, Left margin: 3 cm, Right margin: 2 cm.
