Word 2007 text box borders

[auscruiser]

I use Word 2007 for a newsletter - I cannot find any nice 'text box art
borders' for text boxes I use in the newsletter. I can put the lines or dots
and dashes around the text boxes. Office Publisher has nice Art for page
borders. Can I migrate these across to Word 2007 to use them for Text Boxes
- if so, what would I have to Save As please?
Will Microsoft add (Publisher) Border Art as Text Box Art to Word 2007
please?

Do you have Publisher?

 

[auscruiser]

Yes, I have Publisher, but started using Microsoft Works for newsletter
originally in 2005, and prefer to stay with Word 2007. The fancy text box
borders were available in Microsoft Works 2005, so wondered if they had not
downloaded successfully in my Microsoft Word 2007? Is there any way that I
can migrate Publisher Border Art over to Word 2007 and use them as Word Text
Box borders please?

I can't see a way of migrating this...

The thing with Works is that it is primarily a product for home use and it
contains elements from Office to bring it together as a suite for tracking
family info, creating birthday fliers, and so on. As Office is more of a
business productivity suite, it is divided into applications that will
perform the task in the most appropriate way, and I really think using
publisher is your best bet.

Thank you Paula, I have appreciated your advice.

You're welcome. I know the answer isn't always the one we'd like, but
Publisher is a great product, and you'll be able to achieve the things you
want far more easily with it, I think.
