Add built-in title to style above a border?

[christophercbrewster via OfficeKB.com]

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?

Simply modify the Heading Style you are using by adding a Paragraph Border
beneath it. Couldn't be simpler.

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?

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.
