Where does Borders live in the IronWord API?

Borders is a class in the IronWord.Models namespace, shipped in IronWord.dll. It derives from Object and groups a BorderStyle for each of the top, bottom, left, and right edges of a box.

How do you outline only one edge of a box in C#?

Assign a configured BorderStyle to just the side you want, such as TopBorder, and leave the other three properties unset. Each edge on a Borders object is independent, so an unset side renders without a border.

Class Borders

Defines the borders for a specific element.

Syntax

public class Borders : Object

The four edges of a box in a Word document, top, bottom, left, and right, are grouped on Borders. It bundles a BorderStyle for each side, so a developer outlining a paragraph or a table cell sets all four borders through one object instead of tracking them separately. Reach for it whenever a rectangle needs an outline, whether that is a full frame or a single ruled line.

Assign a BorderStyle to TopBorder, BottomBorder, LeftBorder, or RightBorder to style that edge; leave a side unset to leave it without a border. Each side is independent, so the same container can carry a heavy top rule and lighter sides, or only one ruled edge. Configure each BorderStyle first (its color, size, spacing, and line pattern), then attach the Borders group to the element it frames.

The add table how-to applies borders to table cells, and the add styled text how-to covers paragraph-level formatting around them.
