Bottom Border for Headers?
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? |

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 http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/HeaderFooter.htm -- Suzanne S.

Thank you,
I understood how to make the first page header different, but how do I add a bottom border to the headers? "Suzanne S.

Format | Borders and Shading. Select the desired border style and weight,
then click on the bottom of the square in the preview. For more, see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/Borders.htm If you want to add the border to the header style, then you'll need two different header styles. -- Suzanne S.

Thank yo for the help,
I put up an image to try to help explain the problem I am trying to solve. When I do add the border to the header style this is the result I get: http://berlie.com/headerborder.gif As you can see the border doesn't extend underneath the page numbers properly. What I am trying to do is have it like this but have the border extend out across the entire bottom of the header including the page numbers. "Suzanne S.

Did you insert the page number via InsertPage Numbers? If so, Word
put it inside a little frame. Also, Word seems to add some right indent to the paragraph in the header when inserting the frame. You can set the indent back to zero in FormatParagraph to make the border extend to the right margin. Alternatively, with the cursor inside the header area, instead of using a paragraph border, draw a line using the Line button on the Drawing toolbar. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Berlie" wrote in message ...

I haven't looked at your GIF but would guess that Stefan has summed up the
problem. Don't use Insert | Page Numbers to insert your page numbers. Instead, insert them as part of the header itself. For safe removal of existing page numbers, see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...lyIndented.htm -- Suzanne S.
