If ActiveDocument.Tables.Count >= 1 Then
    Set myTable = ActiveDocument.Tables(1)
    With myTable.Borders
        .InsideLineStyle = True
        .InsideColor = wdColorBrightGreen

This example adds a dark red, 0.75-point double border around the first paragraph in the active document.

With ActiveDocument.Paragraphs(1).Borders
    .OutsideLineStyle = wdLineStyleDouble
    .OutsideLineWidth = wdLineWidth075pt
    .OutsideColor = wdColorDarkRed
End With
