I’ve got a paragraph of text, and I want to place a border around it (?)

If it’s just an isolated paragraph, right click on it → Paragraph → Paragraph → Border tab. Of course, you can also define a paragraph style with a border to use in more places in the document, but keeping format consistency.

Hello,

Method 1: Direct formatting (not recommended):

Click somewhere into the paragraph
Right click -> Paragraph -> Paragraph -> Tab: Borders
Add the borders
Click OK

Method 2: LibreOffice style based way

Styles -> Managa Styles --or-- F11
Select icon Paragraph Styles (leftmost icon below the word Styles)
Right click on the current Styles being used (may be it is Default or Text Body)
Select New
Provide a name (eg. Text Body Bordered
Set the Borders in tab Borders
Click OK
Assign the new paragraph style to your paragraph (double click the new style in style manager, while your cursor is within your paragraph you want to have a border around)

Hope that helps.
