When you have a page with a border, and the match paragraph borders to page borders option selected, and you have a paragraph with borders and shading, the shading doesn't fill the full paragraph area, it just fills the area just around the text. I used the apply to paragrah option to define the paragraph borders and shading. ¿Any help to this?

I think that when you applied the shading, you only selected the
paragraph text and did not include the paragraph mark in your selection.
Try double-clicking on the paragraph to select it, and then reapply
the shading. Does that fix the problem?

Thank you for your answer, but that is not the case. I selected the full paragraph. The problem arises when there are borders shared by the paragraph and the page, for example at the top of the page three borders are shared: upper, left and right. The shading, then, won't fill the area between the upper border and the height of the text, and between the left border and the first character of the text. It does fill the area between the last character of the text and the right border.

I see what you mean now.

If you are using one of the page borders that are made up of two or
three thick and/or thin lines with spaces between them, there won't be
much you can do about the gap between the text and the border because
the gap is caused by a white background behind the lines in the border.

If you are using one of the solid borders or an art border, you can get
shading right up against the border by placing a shaded autoshape behind
the paragraph, instead of shading the paragraph.

Fine. That would work but a little annoying because I want to use it for a Title 1 Style format. What I grieve most is that in Office 97 it worked fine.
