How to add page border in Only Office

Hi all,

I am trying to add a page border along the margin of the page as shown below. How do I do this in Only Office? The only thing I found was the paragraph border, but I need the border all around the page to show a margin.

I’m using Only Office exe for Windows 10

Thank you.

We are checking the situation, I will update this thread when we have something to share.

Hi @Alexandre, hope you’re doing well. Any update on this? I was told that Only Office doesn’t have the page border feature. If this is true, could you please point me where I can raise a feature request?

IMO, tools like the text box and the shapes can be used to border a paragraph and there’s no need for a paragraph specific bordering. Page border is used by many for creating templates both for soft copies and also to print on paper for physical use.

Sorry for the late reply. We are still looking into it. I’ll update this thread when we have something to share.

Update: we have added your request to internal tracksystem (48617), we are working on it.
Unfortunately, there’s no way to add page border at the moment.

Thank you @Alexandre, really appreciate you putting in the request. Page borders will speed up the process of creating templates for me.

Also, if it’s not too much, could you point me to any documentation about creating custom themes for the personal use client? Is there a lookup file I can edit?

Hello @tukykarmakar
Unfortunately, there’s no way to add custom theme to desktop editors (it’s possible for server-based editor at the moment).
We have added your suggestion to internal tracksystem (59359).
We have started working on it.

Hi, is there any update regarding the page borders?
Thanks!

Hi @Alexandre, hope you’re well. Is there any update on adding the page borders to OnlyOffice?

I found that LibreOffice already has this feature, so it’s quite odd that OnlyOffice would promote themselves as compatible with MS Office when a common feature like page borders is not available.

Also, where can I track these feature requests (48167 and 59359) that you opened for me?

Hello @tukykarmakar
Unfortunately, there’s no news on the mentioned requests at the moment. The work is still in progress. I will update this thread once we have something to share (this is an internal track system, unfortunately you can’t track it on your own).
