Hi, I'm looking for more artistic/creative frames and borders than the
ones that come with MS Office. Is there anywhere I can find more of
these (preferably free - but for purchase is okay too). Also, is
there a way I can make my own border to use (other than in a graphics
program as a picture). What type of file are the borders/frames?

Thanks.

No takers on this one, huh? Just wondering if my post even came
through! :o))

I think no one wanted to give you the bad news--or perhaps some of us
assumed that you were the same poster who posted a similar question in
another NG (which has been answered). Anyway, here goes:

You can find borders/frames through Insert | Picture | Clip Art. You can
also use the drawing tools to create custom borders with lines, drawing
objects, or clip art. The bad news is that you have to insert and size these
manually. You cannot add to the borders or Border Art available in Format |
Borders and Shading. If you want to use clip art as a page border, you have
to insert it in the header (so it's anchored to the header paragraph). There
is no way to create custom BorderArt in Word as you can in Publisher.

Thank you, Suzanne, for answering - it wasn't me who asked this
elsewhere!!
