Create the header. Then while in the header, select Format > Paragraph > Border, and select a bottom border.
This is a cleaner solution to this problem than the one H.S. recommended, though his/her suggestion is more general, I think. However, when I did this, Writer started using a new Paragraph Format, "Header right" for right pages. Headers on the left used the "Header" style. The asymmetry annoyed me, so I started using "Header left" on left pages. I started tinkering with the details of both header styles, but then I had a brain squall and realized that if I had "Header left" and "Header right" link to "Header," I could set up the common properties in "Header" and limit my tinkering to the one way in which the headers were stylistically different.
Unfortunately, I find that if I've modified properties in "Header left" or "Header right," (e.g., the paragraph border), these properties are not inherited from "Header," even after I click on the "Standard" button on the appropriate pages. What "Standard" seems to do is update the current style to match the settings in the parent style, but if the parent styles later change, the child styles are not updated. In practice, this means that if I change the border setting in "Header," it doesn't change in "Left header" or "Right header."
Is there some way for me to say to a paragraph style, "from now on, don't override any of the settings in the style you're linked to unless I manually set them myself"?
