How to Make a Border in Publisher: A Step-by-Step Guide

Are you looking to add a border to your text or objects in Microsoft Publisher? Look no further! In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to create a border around your text or object.

First, open Microsoft Publisher and create a text box. Type in some random text to create multiple lines. If the text is too hard to see, push F9 to zoom in. If you need to zoom out, click on the Zoom Out button located at the top of the page.

Next, select the fill color and line color from the top area. Choose an outline color that you like, but be aware that it will go around the entire box. If you only want the text to be bordered, you’ll need to resize the box.

To resize the box, grab the little circles along the edge of the box and scale it down. Microsoft Publisher will not keep the aspect ratio, but that’s okay. Push F9 to zoom back in and take advantage of this useful feature.

Now it’s time to add a border style to the text box. Click on the line/border style next to the font color. There are several different styles to choose from, but for now, we’ll just select a larger size to create a beefier border around the text.

If you want to add a border to an object, draw a square or insert an object. Fill the square with color and select the line color. Increase the line size to make it visible. Now you can see the object with a border around it.

And there you have it! By following these simple steps, you can add a border to your text or object in Microsoft Publisher. Whether you’re creating a publication or a magazine front, a border can add a nice touch to your design.
