Page Border on Just One Page

P

In Word 2003 is there any way to set up a page border so that it appears
on just one particular page of a multi-page document WITHOUT creating a
seperate section for just that page?

It depends on which page you want bordered. You can border the first page of
a section (or of the document, if there is only one section in it).

In the Format > Borders and Shading > Page Border dialog, pull down the
"Apply to" box and select "This section - First page only". Then select your
border.

For any other page, you could fake it by making a graphic file that looks
like a page border and inserting it with Behind Text wrapping. Another trick
that might work with such a graphic is to put an IF field in the header:

{IF {PAGE} = 5 "<paste the graphic here>"}

would make the graphic appear only on page 5. The article at
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/tblsfldsfms/InsEvnPgEndChap.htm explains how this
kind of field works.
