That's the _german_ version of OpenOffice (the only german version of a software I use, only occassionally). In LibreOffice it should be similar, but I don't know the _english_ name of the thing. It's in the "Insert" menu and allows you to add frames. Those can be placed anywhere in the text and contain text (and also a formula), and they can have borders of variable thickness. >From the list at https://help.libreoffice.org/Writer/Insert_Menu I think it's actually called "Frame". You can doubleclick on the resulting frame to set its options with a dialog with several tabs; https://help.libreoffice.org/Writer/Frame has some help about that, it matches what I see in OpenOffice. In many regards, OpenOffice and LibreOffice are "the same", even though LibreOffice is "the new" OpenOffice today. The fact that I'm still using it is that my home installation is already several years old and I never touch a running system. :-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
