Even without cliparts, you can draw a simple frame around a graphic, table or text in Word:

• First click on the picture or the table. For a text you have to mark the complete section.
• Now just click in the "Start" menu and there in the "Paragraph" section on the "Frame" button. This opens a dialog box in which you can insert and adjust various frames. From frame width to color, you can change the frame individually.
