Borders automatically close between pages

When you apply a box border, you're applying Top, Bottom, Left, and Right borders. Unless you also add an Inside Horizontal Border, you won't get borders between paragraphs except when the bottom of a paragraph falls at the bottom of a page. The only way around this is, on an ad hoc basis, to remove the bottom border from that bottom paragraph. To do this, click in or select the paragraph and click on the Bottom Border button in the Paragraph group on the Home tab (if you've previously used another border, you'll need to click the arrow beside the button to drop down the menu and then select Bottom Border). You may need to click twice to turn it off.

The likelihood is that you're also getting a top border on the next page; you'll need to use the same technique to remove it.

This may be a moot point by now, but this has finally bothered me enough to search for a solution. I have seen a few other posts about this but nothing that really matched what I needed. However, thank you to Suzanne for responding and sparking this idea. I have possibly found a workable solution: (I am using Word 2013)

1. Create a 3 row table

2. Select the top and bottom rows and reduce the font size to something small, such as 6 pt. or whatever spacing you like:

3. Select the middle row and remove the top and bottom borders

4. Copy and paste the table where ever it is needed and then enter your content into the middle row.
