The line could be placed in a variety of ways. The most common are
paragraph border or some such (See Format Borders and Shading and border
of a table.) and table border (See Table Draw Table). It could also be
a drawing object (See drawing toolbar.) or even, if you worked at it, an
underline of blank characters.

And I might have missed a few.

Let us know.
