Toolbars Provide Options

Here is a fairly complicated toolbar (“Ribbon“) for MS Word. Its really worth getting to know how the Ribbon toolbar is arranged

Toolbars consist of two main parts, an upper and a lower part

1. the upper part (eg File  Edit  View etc) provide menu options
2. the lower part are quick action buttons

The Ribbon menu for Word 365 (Web) is simpler, but does not have some features

Page Borders (Web)

• Word for the web does not let you edit, delete, or add new borders to text (proof!)
• If you’ve added borders around text in a document you created with the Word desktop app, Word for the web will preserve them.
• A potential workaround is to insert a table that contains only one cell, then paste or type your text into that cell (I would mark this as acceptable)
