What you describe would be a paragraph border rather than a page border, but
a paragraph border is doubtless what Clark wants, anyway.
In Word 2007 the Borders and Shading dialog is accessed via a button in the
Paragraph group on the Home tab. The menu from which it is selected also
includes buttons (identical to those in the Borders palette accessible from
the Formatting toolbar in previous versions) that allow the user to apply
specific borders (top, bottom, left, right, etc.) directly, using the
current settings. But the dialog must be used to change the color or weight
of the current border.

Clark,
You can do this easily with Page Borders.
Select the paragrah you want lines above and below. Choose the Format
menu,
and then Borders & Shading. In the borders tab, click above the shaded
section in the preview to place a line above and click below the shaded
section to place a line below.
To set the spacing click the Options button in the lower right corner. Set
the top & bottom spacing. Click OK & OK.
There you are.
I hope this helps.
