Hi Hendy:

Add spacing below the paragraph above (... as a full meal.), then follow @tonks_the_auror's advice.

If you adjust both, you will end up with the result you are looking for.

You need one inch (or whatever) before the FIRST paragraph inside the border, not all of them. That creates the space above, between it and the prior paragraph, for the border to be expanded.

THEN you extend the border spacing using the Offset value.

This will not work at a page top unless you take other steps; the border will push up into the top margin.

Do you mean you want to add space between the top border and the text?

If so, then you need to use Paragraph > Paragraph Borders and Shading > Border

There you can set the stroke and the offset

I tried that.
It makes the border higher,
i'm not looking to do that.

I want the first bullet LOWER

I'm unclear on exactly what you do want, then. Do you want space OVER the top rule/border, or BETWEEN the border and the first line of text? You can do either, or both.. (Or neither, obviously.)
