Mondo Workplace Updated on 2024-01-31

Dear friends, when editing a document with Word, have you ever encountered the problem of annoying horizontal lines in the header, but you don't want to affect other header settings?Don't worry, today I'm going to reveal to you how to easily remove the word header horizontal line without affecting other headers.

First of all, let's be clear, the header line in Word is usually used to separate the page from the header content. Sometimes, however, we may not want all headers to have this horizontal line, and we just want to modify the header settings for a particular page. This requires us to master some word skills.

Step 1: Use the concept of "section" to isolate the pages in the document that need to modify the horizontal line of the header

In Word, we can use the concept of "section" to divide the document pages, so as to separate the pages that need to be modified. By setting up different sections, we can apply different header and footer settings to each section, so that only the header line of a page can be modified.

Here are the detailed steps:

1.Move the cursor to the beginning and end of the set of pages you want to edit.

2.Select the Page Layout tab in the menu bar, and then click the Separator button in the Page Setup group.

3.Select the "Next" option in the pop-up menu, which creates a new section from the cursor position.

4.After setting the section settings at the beginning and end of the page, double-click the header position of the new section at the beginning and end of the page to enter the header editing mode. Click "Link to Previous Section" in the "Navigation" group in the "Header & Footer" menu to unassociate this page header from the contextual page, in this case, only the header of this section will be affected by your modification, and the header settings of the other sections will not change.

5.Remove the horizontal lines you don't need in the header of the new section.

Step 2: Use shortcuts, border methods, and Clear All Formatting methods to remove the underscore of the specified header

After setting up the first step, we need to remove the header line from the specified page. There are several ways to do this:

1.Use shortcuts:Hold down the "Ctrl" key while double-clicking the header position to be modified to enter the header editing mode. Then press "Ctrl + Shift + N" to remove the header line.

2.Use the border method:Select the Start tab in the menu bar, then select the Frame Line Drop-Down Arrow in the Paragraph group, and then select No Frame. At this point, the horizontal line in the header is removed.

3.Use Clear All Formatting: Click the "Clear All Formatting" function in the Font group in the Start menu to remove the horizontal line below the header.

4.Use the Style method:Go to the header edit page, select the Start menu, and select a style without underlining in the style group to remove the underline of the header.

The above is how to remove a specific header horizontal line in Word. Hopefully, these tips will help you do your document editing work more efficiently. If you have any further questions or need more help, feel free to let me know!
