  Hi there,

  You can create a border using something like the following:

  <div style="border: 1px solid red;">Border around this text!</div>

  You will need to place this code in the Text Editor, not the Visual Editor. The difference is described here:

  Types of WordPress Editors

  Also, the “1px solid red” attributes are editable. So, you could change it to 2px for a thicker border or switch to dotted. You can also use hex codes (like #ff5e5e) for colors or plain names like blue or black.
