Gone are the days when people only read textual information. Today, each computer user can independently print texts, edit them and print them. To do this, there are auxiliary programs, such as Microsoft Word 2010. But to work with this program, special skills are required. Our article will tell you how to make a frame in Worde.
So, for work you will need a simple program that is part of the Microsoft Office complex. The text editing utility is called Microsoft Word 2010.
What is a frame and what is it for? A border is a beautiful frame around text or a blank page that adds dimension to the page. Most often, frames are used by designers. Thanks to the instructions in our article, you will also learn how to make frames of various shapes and colors. So, let's begin.
Create a beautiful frame Word
First, open a Word 2013 document. It is advisable to have a ready-made text fragment of the page in which you want to make the appropriate changes. Next, go to the " Page layout».
In the center, in the upper corner, click on the icon " Page borders". A window will open in front of you. Borders and shading". There are many different settings here. In this case, we need only those of them that are associated with the framework. Therefore, we will talk about how to make a frame for the entire text of the page.
Select the type "Frame" and then set " Apply to entire document". To confirm the actions performed, click " OK» at the bottom of the window.
Thus, we got the simplest stroke to the entire page of the document. By the same analogy, instead of the usual frame, you can make a frame in the form of pictures.
The following operations will complicate the shape of the frames. To do this, let's try to create a colored stroke of the paragraph. The initial steps are similar: open the document, go to the " Page layout". Place the cursor on the paragraph you want to format. In the window that opens, go to the " Border».
Pay attention to the lower right corner, which shows that all changes will be applied to the paragraph. On this tab you can choose.
Note that the preview window is very conveniently located in Word. All the changes you make to the document are immediately visible in the small diagram on the right.
Select " Frame” (to do this, left-click on the corresponding icon).
Choose a color. To do this, in the section Color”, click on the small triangle. In the menu that opens, select the color you need (for example, blue), and click on it with the mouse.
In chapter " Width» select a point size. To do this, in the section Width» click on the appropriate item (for example, 3 pt). Notice the changes on the right. If the thickness and color of the frame suits you, then click the " OK” located at the bottom of the window.
All! The paragraph that you selected with the cursor will be transformed into a beautiful stroke of the color and thickness you need.
If you want to frame a large piece of text in the same way, then simply select the text you need with the mouse.
Then, on the tab " Page layout”, click the icon “ Page borders". Go to the " Border", and then specify the type - " Frame».
Choose any color and width, then click the " OK».
Thus, there will be another option. Experiment with the color scheme and the thickness of the frames. As a result, any of your pages or a separate paragraph will have a beautiful design in the form of a frame.
We have repeatedly raised the topic of the vast functionality of the Microsoft Office Word program. However, many users, even quite advanced ones, actually know nothing about the software and its functionality. That is why today we want to tell you about how to make a frame in Word around text.

As you can see, there is absolutely nothing complicated here. Now you just need to customize this very frame. To do this, click on the "Page Borders" button again and experiment with the elements marked in the screenshot.
