If you want to further this deception, you will need to format text accordingly:. You will have noticed that the Options… button is disabled. If you are coming to Word from WordPerfect, you may be accustomed to seeing a distinct difference between a bottom border on one cell and a top border on the one below. But you may also have found that this arrangement often made it very difficult to align intersecting borders properly. Word works differently: a bottom border on one cell is in exactly the same location as a top border on the cell below.
This is normally a good thing, but every now and then Word, in its infinite wisdom, will decide that the border you applied as a bottom border is actually at least in part a top border on the cell below, making it impossible to remove it by turning off the Bottom Border button on the Borders palette.
At such times you must just shrug and move on to the cell below and remove the top border. Tables continued from one page to another often lose the bottom border of the last row; sometimes you can restore it by explicitly applying a bottom border to that row not just borders between rows. Word has a way of perversely interpreting a border between rows as being the top of one row or the bottom of another, but not both. Those last two border styles mentioned above?
Although the shadowbox effect they create can be quite attractive, these styles achieve it by applying borders selectively and by adding 0. This can be insidious: If you apply one of these styles and then change to a different line style, the increased cell spacing remains in effect, and you get a double border.
This might encourage you to use the button labeled Draw Table. At least not to actually create a table. In order to create a table from scratch using Draw Table , you would have to select it from the Insert Tables Table or Home Paragraph Borders dropdown since the contextual Table Tools are displayed only when the insertion point is in an existing table.
I have yet to find a table that could not be effectively created using Insert Tables Table and then adjusting cell widths and merging or splitting as needed.
And I have seen and corrected some horrible messes made by inexpert users using Draw Table actually, even for expert users, it is very difficult to avoid making a mess of your tables if you use this tool. The Draw Table button does have a useful function, however: when it is activated, you can use it to click on a cell boundary and apply the currently selected border.
Care should also be taken using the Eraser. When you click on a cell boundary with this tool, the result is to merge the two adjacent cells. That result can also be achieved by selecting the two cells, right-clicking, and choosing Merge Cells. What the Eraser tool is best suited for is merging columns. If you select two columns and use Merge Cells , the two columns become one big cell.
If you want each row of the two columns to be preserved, then you can activate the Eraser button and carefully drag it over the boundary between the two columns. Compared to text and table borders, page borders are relatively straightforward. They are applied through the Page Border tab of the Borders and Shading dialog.
You can access that directly using the Page Borders button in the Page Background group on the Page Layout tab of the Ribbon in Word and ; in Word and above, the Page Background group is on the Design tab. Page Border tab of the Borders and Shading dialog. The presets are the same as for text paragraphs None , Box , Shadow , 3-D , and Custom and the borders are applied to some or all of the sides in the same way as to text paragraphs, using the presets or the Preview buttons.
There are, however, two aspects in which page borders differ from paragraph borders. The Options… button in this dialog opens a new dialog that, like the one for paragraph borders, is titled Border and Shading Options , but it has specific settings for page borders.
Border and Shading Options dialog for Page Borders. As with paragraph borders, the range of distance settings is from zero to 31 points, so the largest setting, which is less than half an inch, may still not be enough to get the border out of the nonprintable area.
When you change this setting, the default measurements also change:. Border and Shading Options for Page Borders from text. As can be seen, the default distances are the same as the default for text paragraphs: 1 point top and bottom, 4 points left and right. Again, you can set them as high as 31 points almost half an inch from the margins. The Border and Shading Options dialog also includes four check boxes.
With either of these options enabled, you will not see any change in the page border until you add content to the header or footer. This is more likely to be an issue when the page border is very close to the text.
Border art originated in Microsoft Publisher. And, unlike in Publisher, where art borders are all-or-nothing, you can apply Border Art to a single side or several, not just all four.
