Adding a Simple Border

An easy way to add a plain border to an item in your document is to select the item and then use the Border button in the Paragraph group on the Home tab. In the Paragraph group, click the arrow to the right of the Border button, and a set of border options is displayed, as shown in Figure 10-8. Click Outside Borders to enclose the selected item in a border (or choose another border option if you prefer); the border option you select becomes the option shown on the face of the button, so you can apply this border style to another item by simply clicking the button.

The Border button in the Paragraph group lets you apply a variety of border styles.

Note

Keep in mind that the Border button is a toggle button. This means that with a click of the button, you can add borders if they aren’t present or remove borders if they are present.

Inside Out: Clear Borders Quickly with No Border

Although you can use the toggle effect of the Border button to remove border lines, sometimes you’ll want to clear existing borders before you apply new settings. To clear existing borders, highlight the item you want to modify, click No Border in the Border button’s list, and then, while the item is still selected, click the border style you want to use.
