The best way is to use a text box. Draw a text box that fills half the page,
put your add inside it and then go to, Format .... Text box, then look at
the Line section then go to Style and choose the border you want.
Another way is to put the add inside a table of one row and one column. You
can centre the text in the cell vertically and use Ctrl + Tab to position
the text horizontally. Then you go to Format, Borders and shading, and pick
the border you want and then apply it to the table.
You could do the same thing with a shape, but you'll have to make the shape
fill 'no fill' to see the ad under it and it shapes easily shift out of
alignment.
I hope some of that is helpful ...
