Yes, tou can definitely add a custom box border in your Word document pages and glad that we can help.

Is there a way to create a boxed page and put it in my document? I need to have an outside decorative four sided border in all my doc pages for the project review. My question is related to adding borders into Word. I am using Microsoft Word to prepare a summary document for a project i am about to hand at university. The solution is to adjust the position of your headers and footers, allowing the page border to move further from the paper edge.Here’s a question i got from a colleague: For instance, some models of the Hewlett-Packard DeskJet have this problem, as described in this Knowledge Base article:

Some printers, however, can't print anything this close to the paper's edge. If you didn't adjust this position, then the page border prints even closer to the paper's edge than this-approximately 5/16 of an inch. For instance, a default installation of Word prints headers and footers at one-half inch from the top and bottom of the paper. If this doesn't work, it could be because your printer cannot physically handle printing as close to the edge of the paper as your borders require. You should now be able to print like normal.

Make sure the Always Display in Front check box is selected.

The Border and Shading Options dialog box. Word displays the Borders and Shading Options dialog box.

Make sure the desired border is selected and specified for the document.

The Page Border tab of the Borders and Shading dialog box.

Make sure the Page Border tab is displayed.

Word displays the Borders and Shading dialog box.

Choose Borders and Shading from the Format menu.

This can cause some weird behavior, unless you instruct Word to do some automatic document conversion for you-select Tools | Options | Print tab and make sure the Allow A4/Letter Resizing option is selected.Īnother thing to check is to make sure that the page border is formatted to always display in front of anything else on your document. The first thing to check is whether you have the document formatted for A4 paper, but are actually printing on letter-sized paper. There are a number of things you can check, any of which could be causing the problem. It seems that the left and right borders print fine, but the top and bottom portions don't print at all-they are chopped off on the printout. Gwen is having problems printing her page borders.
