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:

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.

border to the header style, then you'll need two different header styles.

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.

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
