Good day to all, my dear friends and guests of my blog. In my article today, I want to tell you how to insert a frame in Word to transform your document. In fact, this thing is very good, and there is nothing complicated about it, but there are differences in different versions of the office.
How to make a frame in Word 2013
First we need to open our text editor, after which we go to the Design tab. In the ribbon, in the rightmost part, click on the item "Page Borders". And then select the tab that interests us.
For all pages
When you sewed on "Page Borders" go to the "Page" tab. There you will see individual settings, which will apply to all sheets in your document. That is, to begin with, we select the type, for example, volumetric. Now let's choose any type of line, for example, the one I have in the screenshot. And of course, do not forget to choose the desired color and thickness. You can also choose a separate picture, but I don’t like any of them).
See what I got when I selected a 3D border type, bold linetype, blue color, 3 pt width, and applied it to the entire document.
For a specific piece of text
But if you want to frame not the entire document, but only a certain part of the text, then you need to select this part, and then go to the above item, just go to the "Borders" tab. The essence here is exactly the same, but you only apply all this to only part of the document.
See what happened to me when I selected a certain paragraph and applied the border settings with red color to it.
Well, as you already understood, in order to remove the frame, you will simply need to put the type "No". That's all).
Other versions of WORD
If you are happy owners of earlier versions of the office, then you will need to log in a little differently.
In Word 2007 and 2010, everything happens in exactly the same way, you just need to initially open the tab "Page layout", not "Design", as it was in the previous example. Well, then again looking for an item "Page Borders" and do everything the same as before.
In Word 2003, the whole process is exactly the same, except that you need to look for the "Format" menu item at the top of the editor, and select the item from the drop-down menu "Borders and Shading".
Finished frames
In addition to the built-in frame editor, you can use ready-made solutions that can be easily found on the Internet.
For example, if you need frames according to GOST, then you can download them. When the archive is downloaded, unpack it. There you will see the file Forms_A4.dot. This will be the frame template. But do not rush to open it just like that. Copy it to the folder where you have office installed in the STARTUP folder. Now you have everything installed.
Go to Word. We noticed that when you created a new document, an item appeared "Security Warning". It always does this when connecting external data. This is fine. Just click on "Enable Content".
Now go to the "Add-ons" menu. There you will see our uploaded data that we just copied to the office folder. By clicking on any of the provided templates, you will see how it will immediately fit into the document in accordance with all the rules.
Just in case, I put a special font for forms of this format inside the folder. this font.
Patterned frames
In addition to the above, I suggest you use another way to decorate a document, namely loading external patterned frames. In fact, these are just pictures in the format PNG with transparent background. You can download them.
Now go back to your text editor, look for the menu "Insert", select "Picture", then look for those files that you just downloaded.
Yes, and don't forget to click right button mouse on this frame and select "Picture Format", then go to the tab "Layout", and then put "Behind the text". Well, now you can write anything inside this frame, as well as move it as you see fit.
Of course, they will not fit the entire sheet, but you can always stretch them and move them around as you need.
Well, that seems to be all that I would like to tell you today about how to insert a frame in a Word. I hope that this information will be useful to many of you. So I look forward to seeing you again on my blog. Look more often. Bye Bye!
