Can you set page border in excel?

In Microsoft Excel, you can set page borders to enhance the appearance of your printed or saved worksheets. Page borders are not applied directly to cells but are more like a decorative frame around the content of the worksheet. Here's how you can set page borders in Excel:

Open your Excel workbook and navigate to the worksheet for which you want to set page borders.

Click on the "Page Layout" tab in the Excel ribbon. This tab is typically located in the Excel toolbar at the top of the window.

In the Page Layout tab, you will find the "Page Setup" group. Click on the "Page Borders" button in this group.

The "Page Setup" dialog box will appear, and you'll be on the "Page Border" tab.

In the Page Border tab, you can customize the appearance of your page border. You can set the line style, color, and width of the border. You can also choose to apply the border to different parts of the page, such as the whole page or just the header and/or footer.

You can also select the "Art" tab to choose from a variety of decorative page border art, if you want to add a more creative touch to your page borders.

After customizing your page border settings, click the "OK" button to apply the border to your worksheet.

The page border will now be visible on your worksheet. When you print the worksheet, the page border will be included in the printed copy.

Keep in mind that page borders are primarily for enhancing the visual appeal of your printed or saved worksheets and are not used for setting cell borders within the worksheet. If you want to set cell borders, you can use the "Borders" feature in the "Home" tab to format the cells with different border styles.
