3 simple ways to create borders in Google Docs

 

Method 1: Create borders in Google Docs by adding a table.

The easiest way to create borders in Google Docs is to create a table. First, select Insert , click Table , and then choose a 1x1 table (one row, one column) .

Move your mouse cursor to each edge of the table to adjust its length and width accordingly. The table will then resemble a page border. You can then fill in text and adjust the margins and formatting as usual.

To format the border, select the table border. Then, click the pen icon on the toolbar to change the border color, or you can also adjust the border thickness or style using the two icons next to it.

 

If you're looking to insert a signature into Google Docs but don't know how, you can refer to the instructions shared in the article below and follow them.

 

Method 2: Create borders in Google Docs using the Drawing tool.

First, in the Insert menu , select Drawing , then select New .

In the menu that appears on the screen, select Shape , then click the first rectangle to add it to the document.

Now you can drag the edges to adjust the size of the rectangle, or you can adjust it later. Click Save and Close.

This rectangle has a blue background, so if you want to change the background color, simply click on the rectangle and select the Edit option displayed below. Immediately, a formatting toolbar will appear. Here, you can change the background color, change the border color, customize the border thickness, or change the border style.

Once you have finished formatting, select Save and Close to save it.

 

Method 3: Create Google Docs borders using image frames

This method is especially useful when you want to create a border with a unique and colorful pattern.

First, in the Insert section , select Image , then click Search the web.

Next, enter the search keyword "borders" or similar keywords to find border images. After selecting a border you like, click Insert below.

At this point, the image frame will appear. You can drag the edges of the image to adjust its size or drag and drop the image to any position on the document page you want.

However, since this is an image, you can't directly add text like in the two methods above. To add text, click on the image and select " Behind text" below. The image frame will then become the background, and you can start adding text as usual.
