MS Office Forum / Word / Tables / June 2008Border error message regarding pt size
I'm trying to format borders in a table and the error messge "The measurement must be between 1 pt and 31 pt" appears. I've changed the pt size to 1 pt but it doesn't help. It's only in this one document. If I cut and paste to a new document the borders function works fine. Unfortunately, it's a huge document and I can't copy the whole thing to a new document. Anyone have experience or a solution with this? The error message is referring not to the border weight but the "Distance from text."  SignatureSuzanne S.

It isn't complaining about the width of the border. Somehow you've gotten a bad setting for a page border. In the Format > Borders and Shading dialog, go to the Page Border tab and click the Options button at the lower right. Each of the four boxes in the Margins group must be set to a number between 1 and 31 pt. (If this is set wrong, it doesn't matter that the Page Border itself is set to None.)

Hi Jay, I am having the same error, however the error occurs when you try to get into the 'page borders' tab, and Word won't let me enter the tab to change the settings. Any idea on how to get around this? Thanks, Dave Hi Dave, I have the same problem. Did you get a response?
