You can use \fbox{...} to put a frame around a \parbox{...} containing your text. Here's an example document. Note the \noindent that prevents the box from being shifted to the right.

\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}

\noindent\fbox{%
    \parbox{\textwidth}{%
        The quick brown fox jumps right over the lazy dog. the quick brown fox jumps right over the lazy dog. the quick brown fox jumps right over the lazy dog. the quick brown fox jumps right over the lazy dog. the quick brown fox jumps right over the lazy dog. the quick brown fox jumps right over the lazy dog. the quick brown fox jumps right over the lazy dog. the quick brown fox jumps right over the lazy dog.
