Part 2: How to Apply Border to Specific Page Only (e.g. First Page Only)
Normally, when you add Page Border, Word puts it on every page. But what if you only want border on the Cover Page (Page 1) or specific pages?
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Click on the page where you want the border.
- Go to Design tab => click Page Borders.
- Choose your border style, color, or art design.
- Look at bottom right corner under Apply to: dropdown menu:
- Select This section - First page only (if you want border on Page 1 cover page only!).
- Select This section - All except first page (if you want border on page 2, 3, 4... but no border on cover page).
- Select This section (if you created Section Break for specific pages).
- Click OK button.
> 💡 Tip: To put border on page 3 or 4 only, insert a Section Break first! Go to Layout => Breaks => Section Breaks (Next Page) before setting page border.
