Page borders missing

[Jan Il]

Hi all - Word 2000, Windows ME

I can no longer find the page borders for my certificates. I have a master
custom certificate document that I used a specific page border for, and now,
none of the page borders are showing up in the page border art list.

I also have Office 2002 XP installed, and they are there, with the exception
of the one that I want to change to for a special certificate. If I recall
that the Candy Canes page border was still available in the 2000 version. I
have tried the D&R, and a reinstall of 2000, but, still no page borders.

Does anyone know where I might be able to find page borders such as those
used in Word 2000, or similar? I have tried to look up page borders on the
web, but all I seem to be able to find are the ones for websites. I don't
know what the old page borders may be called now to find a source.

Any information or reference would be very much appreciated. I'm sort of
under the gun to get the master certificate finished so that I can get all
the rest of them done by the first week of December.

Best regards,
Jan

Hi Jan,

It could be an installation issue or a problem with
a templte or document

From Start=>Run type
Winword.exe /A
then start a new document and go to
Format=>Borders and Shadings=>Page
do the Art Border selections appear?

If not, from Add/Remove Programs in the Windows Control
Panel, select your Microsoft Office or Word choice
and under Add or Remove Features for Word see if
Page Border Art is set to 'run from my computer'
status.

Hi Bob!

Thank you for your time to assist with this issue. I found that the Page
Borders Art in the Microsoft Word for Windows part of the Features had
somehow been set to 'Not available', the icon had a big X on it. I changed
it to 'Run from my computer' and the borders returned. How it got changed I
have no idea, but, at least now I know what I need to do if this happens
again.

Best regards,
Jan
