To have a different header on the first page of a section (different in any
way, including borders), you must check the "Different first page" box on
the Layout tab of Page Setup. This gives you a separate First Page Header in
which you can insert different text or format it differently. For more, see

How can I create a bottom border below on all headers in a section except
the
first page?

I can see how to create a page border that places a border above the
headers
but not below them.

I tried inserting a bottom border in the header view but it does not place
a
border under the entire header area and on the odd (? may have been the
even)
pages it doesn't go under the page numbers.

Any suggestions?
