Where can I find borders on the new version of Outlook?

Hi,

On the older version of Outlook I used to use the border tool to make lines:

On the new version of it I can't find the tool anywhere:

Where can I find it?

Thanks

    I miss the borders and the horizontal line (and the format picture) options in New Outlook, too. I just discovered a way to create a dynamic horizontal line, though! 
    Open a new Word document, show ΒΆ symbols and select a border option (I selected bottom border, here). Drag select over the paragraph symbol in the body of the Word doc, copy and paste into your email. It resizes to your Outlook preview or pop-out view whether full screen or minimized.


    Seems odd to have to exit one writing tool (Outlook) to use a different writing tool (Word) to bring it back into that first writing tool but here we are, for now. I trust Microsoft can find a way to make this native to Outlook. Right, Microsoft?!

    Adding borders to a paragraph is unsupported in New Outlook.
    Instead, you can insert a table and text and then add your border preferences.
