How to Add Borders in Google Docs
Google Docs is a fantastic tool, allowing you to create and edit documents collaboratively with others, all from the comforts of your home or office. One of the many useful features of Google Docs is the ability to add borders to your documents. With borders, you can make your document stand out, highlight important elements, or simply make it look better. Here, we’ll go through the simple steps of adding borders to your Google Docs document.
Step 1: Open a Google Docs Document
First, open up Google Docs and start a new document, or open an existing one. This will provide a blank slate for you to add borders to.
Step 2: Highlight the element you want to add the border to
The next step is to highlight the area that you want to add a border to. You can highlight individual paragraphs, pictures, tables, or the entire document if you prefer.
Step 3: Go to the toolbar and select the “Border” option
Once you’ve highlighted the area, go to the toolbar and click on the “Borders” button. This is represented by a square with an inside margin. It’s located next to the “Font” button.
Step 4: Choose the type of border you want to add
Once you click on the “Borders” button, you’ll be presented with a variety of border options. You can choose to add a line border, dashed border, dotted border or solid border. There are also options to add horizontal or vertical lines.
Step 5: Adjust the border style
After selecting the type of border you want, you can adjust its style depending on your preference. You can change the border width, color, and also modify its style, such as changing a dashed border to a solid line or vice versa.
Step 6: Apply the border
Once you’ve set the border to your liking, you can hit the “apply” button to add the border. This will add the border to the selected element.
