If you've gone through every Google Docs dropdown in search of an option to create a border around your document, I'm sorry to report that search was in vain. Google Docs doesn't offer a feature specifically designed for creating borders like Microsoft Word does, but there are workarounds available. To add a border in Google Docs, you can use the shape tool or insert a table, both of which have their own advantages and limitations. For instance, using the shape tool allows for more flexibility in terms of size and shape, but doesn't offer real-time editing capabilities. On the other hand, inserting a table provides real-time editing options, but requires more setup. Additionally, Google Docs templates can be used to automate tasks such as autopopulating data from new Google Sheets rows, making it easier to manage documents.
