Set up page borders in word in WPF

A page border is a border that appears outside the margins on each page. Page borders are primarily for decoration so you can use any style, color, and line thickness you want. A good page border can make your page more appealing. In this section, we will demonstrate how to set up page borders in word using Spire.Doc for WPF.

Step 1: Initialize a new instance of Document class. Load the word document from the file.

Document document = new Document();
document.LoadFromFile("Emily.docx");

Step 2: Add page borders and set up the format of borders. In this instance, we set the style of border to ThinThickLargeGap and set the color to yellow green.

Section section = document.Sections[0];
section.PageSetup.Borders.BorderType = BorderStyle.ThinThickLargeGap;
section.PageSetup.Borders.Color = Color.YellowGreen;

Step 3: Set up the space between the borders and the text.

section.PageSetup.Borders.Left.Space = 50;
section.PageSetup.Borders.Right.Space = 50;
section.PageSetup.Borders.Top.Space = 50;
section.PageSetup.Borders.Bottom.Space = 50;

Step 4: Save the document and launch the file.

document.SaveToFile("Dickinson.docx", FileFormat.Docx);
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("Dickinson.docx");
