Step 1: Open your document containing the text to which you want to add a border. Step 2: Use your mouse to highlight and select the text around which you want your border.
Step 3: Click the Home tab at the top of the window.
Step 4: Click the drop-down menu to the right of the Borders button in the Paragraph section of the ribbon, then click the type of border that you want to use. I am going to be using the Outside Borders option in the example below.
