From: christophercbrewster via OfficeKB.com on 10 Feb 2010 11:54 I have some styles that need a border *and* a title above the border. I'd rather not have to use a separate paragraph with its own style to add the title. Is there any way to include the title as something built-in but also appear above the border? -- Christopher Brewster Lockheed Martin, Eagan MN Message posted via OfficeKB.com http://www.officekb.com/Uwe/Forums.aspx/ms-word-general/201002/1
From: Terry Farrell on 10 Feb 2010 12:34 Simply modify the Heading Style you are using by adding a Paragraph Border beneath it. Couldn't be simpler. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "christophercbrewster via OfficeKB.com" <u3143(a)uwe> wrote in message news:a36ebdaf4bfab(a)uwe... > I have some styles that need a border *and* a title above the border.

From: christophercbrewster via OfficeKB.com on 10 Feb 2010 13:58 I neglected a detail in my question. Your answer sounds like it would end up with just one border, but the paragraph needs a border both above and below it, and the heading is above the top border. The heading is always the same, so I'd like it built into the style. Your answer still might apply, but I'm not sure how it would work. Can the built-in heading and border both be incorporated in the paragraph style? Terry Farrell wrote: >Simply modify the Heading Style you are using by adding a Paragraph Border >beneath it.

From: Jay Freedman on 10 Feb 2010 14:43 No, Word styles cannot include text of any kind. They're strictly formatting. What you could do is to save the heading plus a bordered (but otherwise empty) paragraph mark as an AutoText or formatted AutoCorrect entry. When you need such a construct, insert the entry and then fill the paragraph with text. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
