How do you add a page border or shading to a document?

• A. Design > Page Borders; configure borders and shading; apply to the whole document.
• B. Layout > Page Borders; configure borders and shading; apply to the whole document.
• C. Insert > Page Border
• D. View > Borders

Answer: (B)

Page borders and shading are applied as a page-level formatting effect, not to individual text. On the Layout tab, open Page Borders, then in the Borders and Shading dialog switch to the Page Border tab to pick a style, color, and width, and use the Shading tab to choose a fill. To affect every page, set the Apply to option to Whole document and click OK. This creates a border around each page edge and a background shade across the page area between margins; you can limit it to a single section by changing the Apply to setting if needed.
