Microsoft Word is a program that is in demand among the vast majority of PC users. Today she is an indispensable assistant for people of various professions, as well as pupils and students. And this is not surprising - Word documents, like the rest of the software of the Office suite of office applications, has a convenient and simple interface, as well as rich functionality that allows you to adapt the document to your needs. One of the possibilities provided by the program is the creation of frames that frame a document, section, paragraph, or just a piece of text. This allows you to make your text more descriptive. The article will discuss how to make a frame in different versions of Word (2007, 2010, 2013 and 2016).
How to make a frame in Microsoft Word 2007 and 2010
Both versions of the program contain the same interface, so the method for creating a frame is relevant both for Word 2007 and for the modification of 2010.
So, to make the frame, we need to follow a few steps:
How to set a border in Microsoft Word 2013 and 2016
In order to make a frame in these versions of Word, you need:
- Click on the "Design" tab located in the program menu bar;

How to make a frame in Word according to GOST
When registering term papers, theses and other works, it is often required to have a frame with a stamp, the creation of which, as a rule, causes problems regarding the "congress" of the text and incorrect indents. But everything is not as complicated as it seems at first glance. To set a frame according to GOST in Word, you need:
In order to exclude the repetition of the frame with a stamp throughout the document, go to the "Insert" block, select the "Footer" item, activate the "Change footer" parameter in the drop-down window, then deactivate the "As in the previous section" parameter for the selected text areas.
Now let's move on to creating the frame itself, for this:
- We pass to the main part of the text, the frame for which you need to set;
- Click again on the "Page Layout" tab, in the "Page Settings" block, select the "Fields" item and in the drop-down window open the "Custom Fields" tab;
- Another window appears in which you need to set the following parameter values;
- Return to the "Page Layout" section and select the "Page Borders" tab in the "Page Background" section;
- The "Borders and Fill" window, already familiar to us, opens, in which, of course, we select the frame as the type of frame, and in the "Apply to" tab, click on "This section";
- Open the "Parameters" section, located under the "Apply to" tab;
- A window appears in which we need to set the following indents and settings for the location of the frame.
Done - we got a frame in the Word that corresponds to GOST.
Conclusion
Now you know how to work with different types of frames in Microsoft Word. I hope this article will help you move deeper in learning this not the easiest, but interesting program.
If it becomes necessary to make a frame in Word, most users follow the most obvious path - they create a huge table on the entire page, inside which they place text. But, despite its simplicity, this method of creating a frame is not very convenient. Especially if there are other tables in the text.
Instead, it's better to use a tool called Page Borders. With it, you can make a frame in Word for all pages of a document, only for individual pages, or even for individual paragraphs of text. You can find out how this is done in this article.
How to make a border in Word 2007 and 2010
If you are using Word 2007 and 2010, then to make the frame you need to open the Page Layout tab and click on the Page Borders button. If you have Word 2016, then the button "Page Borders" should be found on the "Design" tab.
This will bring up the "Borders and Fill" window. Here you need to select a frame and click on the "Ok" button... After that, each page of the document will be framed.
If necessary, you can make the frame the way you want. In the "Borders and Fill" window, you can select the type of frame, its color and thickness.
If you need to add a frame only on certain pages, then you can split the Word document into several sections and then apply the frame only to those pages to which you need.
How to make a border around text in Word
If you do not need to make a border around the entire page, then you can make it around the paragraph of text of your choice. For this place the cursor on the paragraph around which you want to make a frame, click on the "Page Borders" button and go to the "Border" tab.
A quick way to make a border around text
There is also a faster way to make a border around the text in Word. The Home tab has a button that users usually don't notice.
This button allows you to quickly create frames around the text. To do this, just place the cursor on the desired paragraph of text, click on this button and select the appropriate frame.
How to make a border in Word 2013 and 2016
If you have Word 2013 and 2016, then the frame is added in exactly the same way as described above. The only exception is the "Page Borders" button will not be on the "Page Layout" tab, but on the "Design" tab.
Otherwise, the process for creating a frame is exactly the same as in Word 2007 and 2010.
When designing creative works, we try to decorate our documents with frames.
In different versions of Word, it is possible to make frames in the form of a picture for one or more pages.

If you want to make the frame not entirely, but only on three sides of the sheet, then for this you can click on the corresponding buttons in the "Borders and Fill" window.
(figure 8)
Just like that, you can simply quickly decorate any document.
I would like to draw your attention to the fact that business documents should be drawn up in a stricter framework.
While working with the Microsoft Word word processor, I had to study it so that, if necessary, I consult on the phone without looking at the monitor screen.
I will assume that you, too, will easily master the possibility of inserting frames and that they will already ask you for help.
Thanks for attention.
