Being sick of the very ordiany borders in word I want more instresting borders like flowers etc.. Where can i download good instresting borders that work in word easily? All websites via the usal cliaprt sites that come up in goodle just dont work in word Where on earth can I get Free,very easy use in word???
I am interested in this as well. There wasn't a response to this message in OE that came through; anyone have any idea re this?
See http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/BorderArt.htm, but note that Word is really not designed for this type of application; for that you'd be better off with Publisher.
Actually, it worked excellently! In another wordprocessing application there was a built-in page border that looked like a caution barrier (like those that they used to put in construction sites to not pass. Now they just use the yellow plastic rolls). I used the Xmas wreath from that page as a template for size and covered it with yellow and black stripes. I cut out a white square from the middle so that it looked like a white page with a caution barrier border and applied that to a Word doct in the header, as per that page. I added my text, and voilà, the perfect sign for when the photocopier, etc., is out of order yet a maintenance call has been placed. Stick that on the device with tape and we've alerted the staff. Thanks. D
Note that if you create the border and format it as Behind Text, you don't need to put a "white square in the middle." You can just use the document body for your typing area.
I just used a graphic so don't know it would work without taking out the lines out of the the middle that I drew across the entire graphic so that they'd be even. Without removing that piece, the entire graphic would appear striped even where I didn't want it. I might be missing something, however.
This is exactly what I'm trying to do - create a "caution striped safety tape" border for commnications from a safety professional. Where did you get the clip art? Thanks for your help, John
