One other setting that can cause the behavior: Tools > Autocorrect > Options Tab Uncheck "Apply border" -Doug

The horizontal lines actually appear under Menu>Format>Page>Borders.
There are no lines in User-defined for header or footer. I've tried
removing the existing lines from Borders and then clicking just below
the gray area as you suggest but Ooo won't allow me to click in the gray
area at all. If I click just above the gray area, the borders still
appear above the box for the header and below the footer.
Is there another setting that I need to adjust.
Thanks, Alex

I am trying to use OpenOffice version 1.9.93 to open reports created in Microsoft Word 2000. In Word, there are page borders which are measured from text and do not surround the header and footer.
When I "file" "open" these documents in Word, the page borders move to
below the header and footer. How can I avoid this happening? If it is impossible to avoid this problem at this stage of development, how can
I correct the page borders so they show correctly?
I don't know how to correct the problem automatically on import. That being said:
1. Menu > Format > Page 2. Select the Header Tab. 3. At the bottom left, click on More... 4. In the box labelled "User-defined", I suspect you will see a horizontal line above the gray area in the center of the box. Click on the visible line to remove it. Click just to the bottom of the gray area to add a line below the header. 5. Go to the Footer tab and repeat the process for the desired results.
