SUMMARY
On some printers, the page border of a Paper Project may be cut off when you try to print it. This happens because of the predefined nonprintable region of the printer.

In Home Publishing and Greetings you can change the point size of the page border. However, you cannot manipulate the physical location and shape of the page border.

If you want to change the physical location of the border, you can achieve the desired results by using a border around an empty shaped text frame. Shaped text frames are more flexible; you can move them and you can manipulate their shape.

Using a Shaped Text Frame as a Page Border
To use a shaped text frame border rather than a page border, follow these steps:

 To remove the page border, on the Main Options menu, click "Change the page border." Click No border, and then click OK. Click Add Something, and then click Shaped text. Under "Type your shaped text here," remove the default text, "," so the box is empty. Then, click OK. The following message is displayed:

The box is empty

This shaped text box contains no text. If you want to

remove it, press the DELETE key after you click OK.

 Click OK again. On the Shaped Text Options menu, click "Add or change the border." Select the border category, type, and width, and then click OK. Resize the border by clicking the frame handles located at any of the four corners of the frame, and drag the frame to the desired size.</li></ol>

NOTE: There is no way to change the color of the page border.
