      Another suggestion: Use F11 to open the Styles & Formating dialog.
Click the Page styles icon. The right click the Default page style.
Using the Border tab, Set All Four Borders. Then select the width and
color of the border. Click OK.
     This could also be done with a page style you want to use.
     Granted when printing, it does require opening the page style and
selecting Set No Borders in this tab.
