Defining Borders for Pages

In Writer, borders may be defined for page styles, not individual pages. All changes made to borders apply to all pages that use the same page style. Note that page style changes cannot be undone by the Undo function in Office.

To Set a Predefined Border Style

1. Choose Format - Page - Borders.

2. Select one of the default border styles in the Default area.

3. Select a line style, width and colour for the selected border style in the Line area. These settings apply to all border lines that are included in the selected border style.

4. Select the distance between the border lines and the page contents in the Padding area. You can only change distances to edges that have a border line defined.

5. Click OK to apply the changes.

To Set a Customised Border Style

1. Choose Format - Page - Borders.

2. In the User-defined area select the edge(s) that you want to appear in a common layout. Click on an edge in the preview to toggle the selection of an edge.

3. Select a line style, width and colour for the selected border style in the Line area. These settings apply to all border lines that are included in the selected border style.

4. Repeat the last two steps for every border edge.

5. Select the distance between the border lines and the page contents in the Padding area. You can only change distances to edges that have a border line defined.

6. Click OK to apply the changes.
