Add a border

By default, the borders are applied to the whole document, which means every page has the same border. Clicking the down arrow on Apply to gives you the option to select the first page only, selected page, all pages but the first page, and other options.
- Once you've selected all the border options you want to use in your document, click the OK button to apply the border.
