Answer 1

Try this:



On that Border and Shading Options dialog box, change the "Measurement From" list box to Text, then set the border margins to 1 or 2 pixels.



Hope that helps.

I am not sure if I understand the question. Do you want a margin or a border? A margin is white space around text. A border is a line of some sort that surrounds an item.



If you are only seeing points (pt) in Page Layout > Margins then it is probably because the Word Options for measurements are set to Points rather than Inches. You can change that in the Advanced pane of the Word Options under Display.



If you want to have a thick border around an object, you are limited to the point sizes available in the drop down lists.
