Add a Border to a Title Page in MS Word

MS Word's Borders and Shading feature allows you to control exactly where to place a border in a document. For example, let's say you want only your title page to have a border along the left and right margins.

Follow the steps below to make it happen:

1. Select the title page.
    
2. Go to Format | Borders and Shading.
    
3. On the Page Border tab, select a setting.
    
4. Decide on your formatting by making selections from the Line Style, Art, Width, and Color drop-down lists.
    
5. In the Preview section, click the buttons to turn off the border at the top and bottom margins.
    
6. Select This Section - First Page Only from the Apply To drop-down list.
    
7. Click the Options button.
    
8. Select Text from the Measure From drop-down list.

You can also add a border to a page in the middle of the document by making that page a new section and selecting This Section from the Apply To drop down list.
