Microsoft's Word application is a word-processing software program that allows you to create various documents and templates, such as photo-name badges, for personal or professional use. Perhaps you have an upcoming reunion or a company event and you need to create badges for everyone. With Word, you can save money by using a ready-made name-badge template and the toolbar features to create your own customized photo-name badges.

You can specify any border properties you'd like on the text box by clicking the "Borders" property on the "Formatting Palette."
