To add a space between right-aligned text and border:
- Click the Home tab on the Ribbon.
- Click the Dialog Launcher on the Number group on the Ribbon.

- Click “Custom” in the Category list window.
- Click in the Type field and type the @ symbol, followed by a blank space. If you wish more space between the border and the end of your text, enter as many spaces as you like.

- Click OK.
