How to Insert a Border in Open Office

1. Select 'Format' from the top of the document and click 'Paragraph.' Select 'Borders' to open the pop-up dialog. Beneath the 'Default' header, you can select a default border to use for your document. If you do not want a default border, create a custom border in the 'User-defined' area by clicking on it. You can select the top, bottom, left, or right border edge, and you can select up to two border edges at once.
2. Select the desired thickness and color of your border beneath the 'Line' header. If you are creating a custom border, select another border edge from the 'User-defined' area and repeat this step until you have defined the thickness of each border edge, as well as a color for each border edge.
3. Select how closely you want the border to be positioned to the content of your page beneath the 'Spacing to contents' header. Click 'OK' when you are satisfied with the spacing. You will now have a border on your document.
