Word 97—Ease of Use

Structuring Your Document

Text Borders

In addition to applying borders around paragraphs, Word 97 now lets you apply borders within paragraphs. You can literally “block out” pieces of text by applying any of the available border styles. Character borders also make it easier to put borders around headings. Select your text, and click on the borders button on the toolbar to give your selection any of the available borders.

Text Shading

New character shading lets you call out parts of your document for other users. Just like you apply shading to paragraphs, now you can apply it to selected parts of a paragraph. Choose any shading color or gradation. Since shading is a character property, you can also include it in style definitions. The shading will print in color on a color printer, otherwise it will appear in shades of gray.
