The way to import a graphic from a paint/draw program is to select the
graphic while in the graphics program, copy it to the clip board,
switch to Word and paste it into your document.  Word treats graphics
as single characters, so what you want to do (i.e. placing a border
around a page cannot be done (at least trivially - maybe with absolute
paragraph positioning, but that would be too cumbersome). 
On the other hand Word enebles you to place borders around paragraphs
(that I am sure of - look at the paragraph menu item) and possibly
around a page - try looking at the document menu item. I guess one way
to do it would be to place a left and right border around ALL text
paragraphs, a bottom border in the header and a top border in the
footer, then carefully position the header and footer to make the box
continuous.
