I don't know for sure whether WordPerfect allows you to directly specify
what you're trying to accomplish, but there are two ways I can think of
to kluge it:

1. Create an unshaded, unbordered, margin-wide empty box and place it
behind your shaded box.  This will displace the text from the sides of
your shaded box, but has the disadvantage of forcing you to align its
vertical position and adjust its height properly.

2 Adjust the left- and right-ouside margins of your shaded box so that
they exactly fill the distances from the left and right sides of your
shaded box to the left and right margins, respectively.  (You have to
change the [O]ptions for the box or figure in order to do this; be sure
to restore the previous settings after the box if necessary.)  This has
the disadvantage of forcing you to measure and adjust these margins
should the width of your shaded box change, but has the advantage of
being easier to perfect and more elegant to execute.
