Summary The page borders in a Microsoft Office Word document may not be displayed or printed as expected. At least not to actually create a table. In order to create a table from scratch using Draw Table , you would have to select it from the Insert Tables Table or Home Paragraph Borders dropdown since the contextual Table Tools are displayed only when the insertion point is in an existing table.
I have yet to find a table that could not be effectively created using Insert Tables Table and then adjusting cell widths and merging or splitting as needed. And I have seen and corrected some horrible messes made by inexpert users using Draw Table actually, even for expert users, it is very difficult to avoid making a mess of your tables if you use this tool.
The Draw Table button does have a useful function, however: when it is activated, you can use it to click on a cell boundary and apply the currently selected border. Care should also be taken using the Eraser. When you click on a cell boundary with this tool, the result is to merge the two adjacent cells. That result can also be achieved by selecting the two cells, right-clicking, and choosing Merge Cells.
What the Eraser tool is best suited for is merging columns. If you select two columns and use Merge Cells , the two columns become one big cell.
If you want each row of the two columns to be preserved, then you can activate the Eraser button and carefully drag it over the boundary between the two columns. Compared to text and table borders, page borders are relatively straightforward.

As can be seen, the default distances are the same as the default for text paragraphs: 1 point top and bottom, 4 points left and right. Again, you can set them as high as 31 points almost half an inch from the margins.
The Border and Shading Options dialog also includes four check boxes. With either of these options enabled, you will not see any change in the page border until you add content to the header or footer. This is more likely to be an issue when the page border is very close to the text. Border art originated in Microsoft Publisher. And, unlike in Publisher, where art borders are all-or-nothing, you can apply Border Art to a single side or several, not just all four.
On the other hand, the selection of Border Art in Word is limited. Unlike in Publisher, you cannot create custom Border Art. As shown in the screen shot above, the default is for a page border to apply to the entire document and appear on every page. But the dialog does offer other options:. One additional button on the Borders menus and in the Borders and Shading dialog is Horizontal Line , which inserts a thin grey line from margin to margin.
In Word and earlier, the Horizontal Line button in the Borders and Shading dialog opens this dialog:. Word Horizontal Line dialog. In Word and above, however, you get no choice about the line you want to insert, though you do get some formatting capability.
If you right-click on the line and select Format Horizontal Line , you get this dialog:. Format Horizontal Line dialog.
