I cannot get rid of these 2 horizontal lines of the header, please see here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3180464/header.jpeg

I've tried Format Header/More and selected Set No Borders, but the 2 lines are still there!

Thanks

PS:You can find a test document with 2 pages here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3180464/test_header.odt. Thanks

You can remove the borders via
F11 → Page Styles → First Page → Modify... → Header → More... → Borders

or

click on "Border and Background..." Border and Background

(Due to

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3180464/test_header.odt)

How to remove the borders in the header(s) of the document:

(1) First Page
Styles and Formatting (F11) → Paragraph Styles →
Heading 1 → Header → (right click) Modify → Borders

firstpage_borders

(2) Page 2
That's apparently direct formatting:
Select the header → Menu Format → Paragraph → Borders

page2_borders

Yes, this is what I'm doing, but the lines remain there: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3180464/header2.jpeg

Thanks, it worked! But I think there is a little mistake in (1) First Page Styles and Formatting (F11) → Paragraph Styles → Heading 1 → Header → (right click) Modify → Borders It should be: (1) First Page Styles and Formatting (F11) → Paragraph Styles →Header → (right click) Am I wrong?

(I do not know how to insert a new line in these comments. If I click Return the comment gets automatically posted)

@alobo: "a little mistake" — in "Hierarchical" view it is "Paragraph Styles → Heading 1 → Header", in "All Styles" view it is "Paragraph Styles → Header". ;)

@alobo: "how to insert a new line in these comments" — I don't know the answer to this problem; that's apparently not possible.

Update: 2 x Shift+Enter

:)

This may not be the answer that you're looking for but I copy and pasted the content of the original document into a new document and the issue didn't transfer over plus I was able to keep all of the formatting with one exception I lost the footers as well as the headers

Have you tried deleting the header by clicking the blue box "Header (first page)"?

That should just remove everything and let your start from scratch when you recreate the header.

In effect, I delete the header, but the 2 lines come back as soon as I try to add contents to the header,even if I set the style to no border: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3180464/header4.jpeg
