Boarders around bullets or numbers

[NancyL]

In a document that has fields for comments and is surrounded by boarders, if
a bullet or a number is needed inside the comment a seperate boarder is
applied to each bullet or number. I want the bullet or number list to be in
the same boarder as the comment, but have not found anything in boarders and
shading/format-tabs/ or bullets and numbering to turn this off. Please help!
Thanks

Hi Nancy:

This is a job for text boxes.

Add text boxes, put your bullets or numbers in the text boxes, and apply the
border to the text box, not to the paragraphs.

But before you do this, have another look at your page (print it...). Are
you SURE you need the borders? Usually a page looks better without them

Cheers

Actually text boxes didnt work either. They would not move everything else
down as we typed. I ended up using a single column table and that worked
perfectly.
