Microsoft Office Word 365 Border around SVG graphics

Question

I have exported my Illustrator file as an SVG and successfully imported it in Word 365. Now I want to create a black border around the graphic (in word).

Whenever I try to do so it just changes the lines inside the SVG to black (see image).

---

Left side is what it looks like and right side is what it actually looks like. Example image

Is there anything I can do apart from creating the border in Illustrator?

Answer 1

There's at least two options that should work:

• Draw an excel table around the object in Word, then create an outside border
  • Insert - Table - choose table rows and colums
  • Manually select all the cells in the table > Borders > All Borders, then Outside Borders
    All Borders removes the default borders
    
    
• Draw a shape, such as a square, then remove it's fill
  • Insert > Shapes > Select and draw shape > Right-click on shape > Fill - no fill
