How to Add Borders to Certain Page in Word

When working with a word file, you can add borders to all pages, or only the first page. However, what if you only need to add borders to a page in the middle? For example, to add borders only on the second page of the file. Please see below for details:

Part I: Separate the page from other pages, and here we use the 2nd page as the example, but you can apply the same rule to any page or page.

Step 1: Click the very end of the first page, and click the "Layout" tab in the ribbon;

Step 2: Click the "Breaks", then click "Next Page" from the drop-down list to insert a "Section Break";

Step 3: Click the very end of the second page, and repeat steps 1 and 2 to add another section break. This will separate the second page from the first page and the following pages.

Part II: Add borders to the second page

Step 1: Move to the cursor to the second page, and click the "Design" tab from the ribbon;

Step 2: Click "Page Borders" in the "Page Background" area;

Step 3: In the "Borders and Shading" window, select the border type and click "Box" on the very left side to add borders together, or click the "Preview" area to add borders on any side. At the bottom under the "Apply to" box, select "This section" from the drop-down list;

Step 4: Click "OK" to finish.
