Select the paragraphs. Select Format > Borders and Shading (in case of Word
2007: in Home tab > Paragraph group, click the arrow next to bottom-right
icon and select Borders and Shading). On the Borders tab of the dialog box,
click the Box icon to the left. Select the Style and Color you wish and
select the 3 pt option from Width. Click OK.
Note that if you add more paragraphs after the last one in the box, the box
will also surround that paragraph. You can remove the border from that
paragraph via the Borders and Shading dialog box (click the None icon). Or
easier: click in the paragraph and press Ctrl+Q (this will remove any direct
font paragraph from the paragraph).
