This example adds a single border around each page in section one in the active document and then sets the distance between each border and the corresponding edge of the page.

Dim borderLoop As Border

With ActiveDocument.Sections(1)
    For Each borderLoop In .Borders
        borderLoop.LineStyle = wdLineStyleSingle
        borderLoop.LineWidth = wdLineWidth050pt
    Next borderLoop
    With .Borders
        .DistanceFrom = wdBorderDistanceFromPageEdge
        .DistanceFromTop = 20
        .DistanceFromLeft = 22
        .DistanceFromBottom = 20
        .DistanceFromRight = 22
    End With
End With
		

This example adds a border around each page in the first section in the selection, and then it sets the distance between the text and the page border to 6 points.

Dim borderLoop As Border

With Selection.Sections(1)
    For Each borderLoop In .Borders
        borderLoop.ArtStyle = wdArtSeattle
        borderLoop.ArtWidth = 22
    Next borderLoop
    With .Borders
        .DistanceFrom = wdBorderDistanceFromText
        .DistanceFromTop = 6
        .DistanceFromLeft = 6
        .DistanceFromBottom = 6
        .DistanceFromRight = 6
    End With
End With
