Adding Borders to Cell Contents in Microsoft Word

Cell Borders...

You may already know how to add a border to a cell in a Word table. However, you may not know that you can go beyond such a border and add a border to the contents of a cell. You can add such a border by following these steps:

Step 1 - Position the insertion point within the cell whose contents you wish to border. (You don't need to select the text or the cell.)

Step 2 - Choose Borders and Shading from the Format menu or, in Word 2007, click the Home tab of the ribbon, click the down-arrow next to the Border tool in the Paragraph group, and then choose Borders and Shading from the resulting drop-down list. Word displays the Borders and Shading dialog box (Click here to see a related figure.)

Step 3 - Use the controls in the dialog box to add the borders you desire.

Step 4 - Using the Apply To drop-down list, select Paragraph.

Step 5 - Click on OK.

Microsoft Word versions: 2000, 2002, 2003, 2007 and 2010
