Frame two paragraphs with different styles (Word 2007)

Solved

Hello,

I am using Word 2007.

I would like to frame two consecutive paragraphs that have two different text styles (the first is in "normal" style, the other in "quote" style). When I try, Word automatically creates two separate frames, one for each style, even though the two paragraphs are consecutive.

I would like to know if it is possible to have a continuous frame, that is to say, have a single frame for two contiguous paragraphs of different styles, and if so, how?

Thank you in advance for your help!

    A big thank you for your ideas, Raymond. They gave me another one that worked.

    I selected the two consecutive paragraphs of different styles and, in the "borders and shading" dropdown menu, I chose the "draw a table" option. This way, my text is continuously framed and the styles of the paragraphs are preserved.

    Thanks again.

      Yes; it's an excellent solution, more relevant and effective than mine. Well done!

    No!
    Indeed, you've created a paragraph border, which is related to the format of the paragraph.
    You can try a page border.
    You can also insert a text box and place your paragraphs inside it.
    It's best to do without a border...
