What is a border in Word?

A border in MS Word is a line, a set of lines, or designed shapes that appear around the boundaries of pages/images/shapes/textboxes.

Page borders are mostly used to design flyers and brochures, and sometimes book covers. Borders can be lines of different styles and weights or colorful graphics as illustrated in the picture below.

To add a page border in Word:

Launch Microsoft Word.
Click on the Design tab for Word 2013, 2016 and 2019.
Click on the Page Layout tab for Word 2010 and older.
In the Page Background group, click on Page Borders.

The Borders and Shading dialog box will appear. This
dialog box offers options for you to choose the style or size of border for
your page or pages.

Select the Box option. This will give you a square border around your pages.
In the Style section, select the type of line you want if you want to use a line or group of lines as your border.
You can also change the color and width of the line.

Instead of using a line, you can also use some
designed shapes or art as borders in your Word document.

NOTE: By default, Word adds the borders to all the pages in the document. If you don’t want this behavior, in the Apply to drop-down, select the first page only to add borders to only the first page. You can also break your pages into sections so that you can add borders to those sections alone.

How to make a custom border in word

It is very simple to make a custom border in Word.

First, click to activate the Design tab.
In the Page Background group, click the Page Border command to display the Borders and Shading dialog.
Under the Settings group, select the Custom option from the list of choices. Now set the border styles and widths.

Select Custom from the Settings at the left

Also, go to the Apply to box to decide whether you want the border to be applied to the entire document. Word will apply borders to every page in the document by default.

How to remove border in word

To remove border in Word:

Click on the Design tab.
In the Page Background group, click on Page
Borders. The Borders and Shading window will appear.

in your Word document.

Now click OK to add a Christmas border into Your Word document.

How to add a paragraph border in word

Aside from adding page borders in Word, you can also add
paragraph borders.

As a page border surrounds the entire page, a paragraph border surrounds only the selected paragraph.

Thus, to add a paragraph border in Word:

Click anywhere inside the paragraph to which the
border will be added.
Click on the Home tab.
In the Paragraph group, click on the Borders
command
A list of border options appears, click on Outside

Including a text box in a Word document provides you with the ability to display text outside of the regular document content. This text box can then be formatted and moved around, but you may be wondering how to remove the border from that text box if you don’t need it.

You can remove borders from text boxes in a Word document by selecting the border of the text box, choosing the Shape Format tab at the top of the window, then clicking the Shape Outline button and selecting the No Outline option from the drop down list.

Microsoft Word handles a text box like a separate object, much like if you added a picture or a table to your document. As such, it has a variety of formatting options that you can apply.

But if you have never had to change a setting for a text box, you may be having trouble figuring out where all of those options are.

Our guide below will show you how to get rid of your text box border in Microsoft Word so that you don’t see the line surrounding the box in your document.

How to Delete a Text Box Border in Microsoft Word

Open your document.
Click on the text box border.
Select the Shape Format tab.
Click the Shape Outline button and choose No Outline.

Our article continues below with additional information on how to remove text box border in Word, including pictures of these steps.

Learn how to draw a line through text in Google Docs if you also use that program and want to learn about some of its less common text formatting tools.

How to Get Rid of the Border on a Text Box in Word 2016 (Guide with Pictures)

The steps in this article were performed in the Microsoft Word for Office 365 version of the application, but will work in most other versions of Word as well.

Step 1: Open the document with the text box whose border you wish to remove.

Step 2: Click on the text box border, which will select the entire object.

If you are having trouble clicking on the text box border, you can also choose to click inside of the text box.

Step 3: Select the Shape Format tab at the top of the window.

Note that this tab is only visible when the text box is selected, so you won’t see it when you are editing the body of your document.

Step 4: Click the Shape Outline button in the Shape Styles group in the ribbon, then choose the No Outline option from the drop down.

Now that you know how to remove text box border in Word you will be able to fix issues that arise in your document related to text box borders.

You will still see a line around the text box, as it is currently selected. However, when you click on another part of the document, that line should be gone, allowing you to see how the text box will look now that you have eliminated the border.

More Information on How to Remove Border from Text Box in Word

While the steps in this tutorial discuss removing the border completely, you can use these same steps if you want to use a different color for your border.

The text box border can be further customized from this menu by selecting the Weight, Sketched, or Dashes option. This will change things such as the style of the text box border, or its thickness. There is also an option on the Shape Outlines menu that says More Outline Colors, which you can choose if you don’t see the color that you want to use for the border.

Word also gives you the option to adjust the fill color of your text box. By default the text box background is white, but you can make it almost any other color that you would like. This is accomplished by going to Shape Format > Shape Fill then selecting the desired background color. If you do change the background color, you may also need to change the text color. You can do this by selecting the text inside of the text box, then using the Font formatting options found on the Home tab.

if you need to do something other than removing the border from a text box, then you will find a lot of options on the Format Shape dialog box. you can open this menu by clicking the small Format Shape button that appears at the bottom-right of the Shape Styles group in the ribbon.

Here you will find ways to customize your shape or text box, including:

Changing the line style
Adjusting the line weight
Changing the shape border
Changing the vertical alignment or text direction
Using different margins for the content inside of the text box
Adding various effects to the text box like shadow, reflection, glow soft edges, and more
Applying or removing a fill color from the text box

There is even a tab for Text Options that let you select the formatting and layout settings for the text that is inside of the text box.

When you combine all of these different customization options along with the ability to create a custom border or remove a border from a text box then you can see just how many options there are for you to format the text box the way that you want.

If you need to change multiple text boxes at the same time inside of your document, then you can do that by clicking the first text box, then hold Ctrl key on your keyboard, and clicking on the additional text boxes that you want to change.

Note that doing this will cause you to apply the same changes to each of the selected text boxes. So if you give a different border style from the Borders tab then it will apply that effect to each of the selected text boxes.

A variation on Mr. J’s answer: insert a text box, remove the border, then insert a horizontal line by typing --- (three dashes) followed by Enter. If there’s too much white space above the line, select the paragraph above the line and shrink it –– Ctrl+<, i.e., Ctrl+Shift+,, is a keyboard shortcut that does that.

answered Mar 7, 2013 at 19:04

To achieve the same effect as the others have described, you can also select the first paragraph in your text box and set its top border to whatever line style you want. This option is in the Paragraph section of the Home ribbon.

answered Mar 7, 2013 at 19:12

you can put in a plain text box, then format it to remove the border («no line»), then insert a 1 cell table in the text box and you can set either the top or bottom border to solid or whatever

When you need to highlight a portion of text, it’s not always convenient to use a text box. To emphasize a paragraph while keeping it within the main content, you can put a border around that text in Word instead.

You can put a border around specific text, such as a single sentence, or an entire paragraph. Let’s look at how to do both as well as customize the border.

Select the text you want to surround with a border and go to the Home tab. Click the drop-down arrow next to Borders and choose “Borders and Shading.”

Use a Setting option on the left or the buttons below Preview on the right to add the border around the text. You can also adjust the Style, Color, and Width settings in the center of the window to customize the line for the border.

RELATED: How to Add Borders to or Change Borders on a Table in Word

In the Apply To drop-down box on the right side, select “Text” and when you finish, click “OK” to apply the border.

You’ll then see your text outlined with a border.

Put a Border Around a Paragraph

If you have an entire paragraph you’d like to place a border around, the process is similar. However, you have a few extra customization options.

RELATED: How to Put Borders Around Images in Microsoft Word

Select the paragraph you want to surround with a border and head to the Home tab. Click the Borders drop-down arrow and pick one of the quick border options such as Outside Borders or All Borders.

This places the border around the paragraph from margin to margin on each side and gives you a fast way to add the border. But you can also customize the border and adjust the space between the border and the text.

Select the bordered paragraph, click the drop-down arrow next to Borders on the Home tab, and choose “Borders and Shading.”

Like with customizing the border for specific text, you can change the Style, Color, and Width for the border line. Confirm that “Paragraph” is selected in the Apply To drop-down box. Then, to adjust the spacing, click “Options” on the right side of the window.

At the top, use the arrows or enter the number of points for the spacing on the top, bottom, left, and right of the border in relation to the text. As you make the changes, you’ll see a preview directly below. Click “OK” when you finish.

Make any other adjustments you want in the Borders and Shading window and click “OK” when you’re done to apply the border.

Text boxes in Word are great ways to call out portions of text. But if you want to keep your text in line with the rest and simply highlight a small piece, consider surrounding it in a border. For other types of borders, take a look at how to create a page border in Word.

How to Insert a Text Box in Word

Start by opening the document you want to add a text box to. Then follow the steps below.

On the ribbon, select Insert.
In the Text group, select Text Box, then choose a text box template.
The new text box appears in the middle of the text, and the Shape Format tab is automatically selected.
Select and drag the box to the position you want. To resize the text box, select and drag the circles around the edge. To rotate the text box, select and drag the circular arrow at the top of the box.
Place the cursor inside the text box and type the information you want to appear there.

Why Use Text Boxes?

When you type text in Microsoft Word, you have options for making it look a particular way on the page (such as changing the page margins), but those options are limited. Text boxes expand your formatting repertoire by offering additional control and flexibility for how your text appears. You can place a text box anywhere within a document and format it with different colors and fonts. This feature is especially helpful for creating a blockquote or a sidebar.

Customize a Text Box

After you create a text box, you can customize it in a number of ways.

To bring up options, place the cursor inside the text box and right-click. Choose an option and follow the screen prompts to add a border, change the style, or adjust the way the text box interacts with the other text on the page.

Alternatively, use the controls on the Shape Format tab.
To go directly to the Layout Options menu, select the text box, then select the Layout Options icon (it looks like a horseshoe and is located to the right of the text box).
Change the text, make more adjustments, or move the box to another location at any time. To delete a text box, select its border, then press Delete on the keyboard.
