The feature you're looking for is called "text boxes" in Pages. You can access it by clicking on INSERT, TEXT BOX. For more information about creating borders, applying fill colors, etc, to highlight your text box, click on HELP, PAGES HELP, ADDING TEXT, USING TEXT BOXES AND SHAPES TO HIGHLIGHT TEXT. (Pages '09)

Hope that gets you started.

Thanks, Walt... I'm simply trying to add a border to a paragraph! Will try... again, thank you!

Gary,

Again, we're just trying to figure out what you mean. Let me try another concept...

Are we getting warmer?
