Headers and borders
I've got a document where I'd like to have a horizontal line separating the
header from the page text. Using the Borders & Shading options worked to insert it, but the problem is that it doesn't quite reach all the way to the right margin, leaving the page number hanging over the right edge. Is there a way to fix this, or am I stuck with it? Is there another way to do it? |

Headers and borders
Chances are that your printer will not allow you to print to the edge of the
page, but you can simply use the line drawing tool (drawing toolbar) to draw a line across the page in the header view. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Paul wrote: I've got a document where I'd like to have a horizontal line separating the header from the page text.

Headers and borders
By default, a border is as wide as the paragraph it is in. What you are
seeing is the result of having used Insert | Page Numbers to insert your page number. This inserts the page number in a frame, and the header paragraph is "wrapped" around the frame (in other words, it is displaced from the right margin by the width of the frame). You need to put the page number in the header instead. Carefully delete the existing page number. By carefully, I mean that you must not just select the PAGE field and delete it: you must select the frame itself (you'll know when you have the frame selected because you'll see a hashed border) and delete that. Once you have done that, you can use the Insert Page Number button on the Header and Footer toolbar to insert your page number. If the page number is all you have in the header, you can just right-align the paragraph to put the PAGE field on the right. If there is other text, use a tab character (or two, as needed) to position the PAGE field at the right-aligned tab stop at the right margin (if you have changed the margins, you'll need to reposition the built-in tab stops).
