Border error message regarding pt size

Howdy,

My problem may be the same as others' in here. I had a light gray border
going down the entire length of my Word doc, but when I tried to get to the
Page Border tab in Borders and Shading, I was always confronted with the
message "the measurement must be between 1 pt and 31 pt". The only choice I
had was to close the Borders and Shading box without making any changes.

I was able to access the Page Border tab by choosing Format > Reveal
Formatting, expanding the Section formatting, then clicking Borders.
HOWEVER...

When I selected None in the Borders and Shading window, I still got the
"measurement must be between 1 and 31" message. To resolve this, I went to
the Art pulldown list and selected the apples to apply to the whole document,
then pressed OK. This gave me a border of apples around the whole doc, but I
was then able to re-open the Borders and Shading window and choose None
without any error messages.
