SUMMARY

In Microsoft Word for Windows, the Border command on the Format menu has a From Text option that allows you to set the distance in points between the text and the border. This option is available only when placing a border around a paragraph. You cannot set a distance from text when bordering table cells or pictures.

When you choose Border from the Format menu to format the border of a table cell or picture, the From Text option is dimmed (not available).
