First terminology is important, many people call a border a "template", in AutoCAD a "template" is a unique file that is used as a default starting point for AutoCAD, it can contain borders, layer, symbols, models, ANYTHING that can be created in AutoCAD can reside in a "Template".

 

You want a border to be used as a template.  The drawing you posted has that border saved in model space, and it is being viewed through a paperspace viewport.  Lot of terminology there so look at it this way, MODELSPACE is that space in which we "build" our drawings/models, paperspace is how we present that model to others, I prefer to call it drawing space, but AutoCAD didn't ask me. In short you "build" your widget in modelspace and create a drawing of the widget in paperspace .. clear as mud, right?

 

Back to your border; most of us (many of us anyway) create a BLOCK for our borders with attributes (special text) that can be altered/extracted.  That border is INSERTed in paperspace and a viewport (a "hole" in paperspace through which we show the model) is created and scaled.  We edit all the attributes as needed for the project except for those that will be unique to individual drawings add north arrows standard notes, etc., setup a plotting PAGESETUP, then save that file as a "template", (a default starting file).  Then we start a new drawing, use that template as a start and we get a new drawing file with the border already inserted and partially completed in PS with a model viewing viewport.

 

In your DWT file , the components of the border are in modelspace, use CHSPACE to move those components from the modeling area (MODELSPACE) to the drawing area (PAPERSPACE).  Make what ever changes are required, add what you need to the border (general notes, north arrow, etc.), define a PAGESETUP for plotting and resave that template.  Then you can start a new drawing, use that template and the stuff in paperspace will already exist in the new drawing. .............. then there's sheet sets ................

 

Sorry for the brevity but that's a high level overview of the process.  AutoCAD is a complex application that is EXTREMELY flexible and requires more than a modicum of training to acquire any level of proficiency. Experience with other applications is less helpful than you would think.
