Boxes "Jorge Bravo" <abc[ at ]here.com> 11/2/2008 11:06:43 AM Word 2002 How do I create a box around some text that I have ALREADY written? Thank you JB

Re: Boxes "Terry Farrell" <terryfarrell[ at ]msn.com> 11/2/2008 1:08:13 PM You cannot have a 'box' split across two pages. A workaround is to insert a single cell table, then copy/paste your text into the table cell. That should roll over pages and give you the choice of table border format. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "Jorge Bravo" <abc[ at ]here.com> wrote in message news:uCYSXsNPJHA.2312[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl...

Re: Boxes "Suzanne S. Barnhill" <sbarnhill[ at ]mvps.org> 11/2/2008 1:30:39 PM It depends on what sort of "box" you want. You can apply a border (to selected text or to paragraphs). You can insert a text box or frame. You can place the text in a bordered table cell. You need to provide more information about what you're trying to accomplish. -- Suzanne S.

Re: Boxes "Terry Farrell" <terryfarrell[ at ]msn.com> 11/2/2008 11:09:40 PM Presuming this is a 2-column Table, select the columns and choose Centre Alignment. If you used a single column Table, then insert a Tab between the numbers (note you must use Shift+Tab to insert a Tab inside a table). Adjust the tab using the Ruler.
