Last updated: September 2018 Here’s a question i got from a colleague: I am using Microsoft Word to prepare a summary document for a project i am about to hand at university. My question is related to adding borders into Word. Is there a way to create a boxed page border 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.

Yes, there is a way to add a custom border in your Word document pages and glad that we could help. Note that you can define several border styles and apply them to different sections of your doc, so that the first page has a custom look and feel.

That’s it, we just added a border to our word document.

Hi Beth, Jim's advice is sound. But if you are in denial and want to try something else then here is something you can do. Open the Font Book.app program that is located in your Applications directory and under its File menu choose the Restore Standard Fonts option. After it completes Shut Down your computer, wait 2 minutes and then restart. Let us know if that helps ________________________________ Richard V.

However, the steps people are suggesting are workarounds (drastic, admittedly) that can sometimes undo problems that third-party software and/or bugs have caused, so they are valid troubleshooting tips. They're not saying it's an OS X problem -- just that re-installing is one way to undo third party problems like bugs, or issues with updating from previously-installed software. (Though, that doesn't ensure the problem won't come back when you also then re-install MS Office!) But I agree it seems like overkill. Restoring the default font-set via Font Book is a good interim step to try, before re-installing OS X completely. That will remove duplicates and possibly some corrupt MS fonts. My problem went away, though I'm not sure whether it was removing duplicate fonts, or installing the MS Office 15.21 update that came out last week.
