My method is to create a text box, dragging to page size desired. Minor edit shape abilities via draw/change autoshape are available. Limited color/shape but will do if no additional drawing program available or limited clip art borders available. I like your idea of inserting something you've created, more control over shape/design. "Linda F.

Not really. But, what I do is create a picture in photoshop, then go into header/footer view in word and insert the picture and stretch it to fill one page and set it behind text, with appropriate margins so text isn't on the bordered edge...that way it appears on all pages and I can type in the center I'm sure others may do it a different way, but that's what I do.
