A prof here uses Word for making transparencies. He wants to put a border
around the entire page with the course indicated in the lower right. A scale
model might look something like this:

            |                     |
            |                     |
            |                     |
            |                     |
            |                     |
            |                     |
            |                     |
            |                     |
            |                     |
            |                     |

I know FullWrite can do this very simply using a background picture. The only
ways I can think of doing it in Word all seem cludgy. I tried several things
that work. I recommended that he make a drawing representing the border and
paste it at the beginning of each page, making it and the other paragraphs
on a page "side-by-side". This works, but the process has to be repeated for
each page. I tried to put the drawing in the header/footer, but doing so made
Word think the footer took up the entire page. There was no way to "overlay"
a footer or header with the text on a page, at least not that I could find.

My question is this: Is there a way to do this using embedded postscript?
Ideally, it would be nice if the border would only have to be specified once,
so some solution using the header/footer would be preferred. Note: I do not
have any Postscript references.

Actually, I told him he should get something like PowerPoint but he's not
interested. So, it's got to be Word. If any Word wizards out there know of
a solution, it would be much appreciated. You can post your answers to the
net but I would appreciate direct replies as only about 70% of the net traffic
makes it to our site. Thanks!
