    • Select the arrow under Color and choose a border color.

    • Select the arrow under Width and choose the width you want.

    Tip: If you want a clip-art border instead, select the arrow under Art and choose a border graphic.

    Tip: To change where the border appears on the page, select Options and adjust the margin settings.

Word for the web does not let you edit, delete, or add new borders to text.

If you’ve added borders around text in a document you created with the Word desktop app, Word for the web will preserve them.

A potential workaround is to insert a table that contains only one cell, then paste or type your text into that cell.
