Hi Winter

Yes, you can put new items on right-click menus (also called "shortcut
menus" or "context menus"). The article at
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/AsgnCmdOrMacroToToolbar.htm
explains how to do it -- pay special attention to step 2c.

You can add the Borders and Shading item, or you can record two macros while
you apply the two types of border (see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/UsingRecorder.htm) and put those macros
on the right-click menu so you don't have to fiddle around in the Borders
dialog.
