Hi
I am hoping that someone can help.
I am using a built-in template for the header of my PhD thesis from word
2007, the documents are saved in 97-03 format.
I need to change the colour of the line in the header, but can only figure
out how to edit the text.
I am hoping that someone can help
 
How you do it will depend on whether the line is a drawing line or a
paragraph border, but you must first access the header.

Hi,

I can access the header as I have editted it, but as I can't clip on the
line I am not sure how to change the colour. I guess it must therefore be a
pharagraph border, but I still can't figure out how to change colour
 
Hi,

Thanks, I can edit the header text so accessing it is not a problem, I just
can't clip on the line, therefore I guess it is a paragrgaph border, but
with that knowledge I can still unable to change the colour, any ideas?

Thanks
 
While your cursor is in the header, go to the Home menu and find the Border
button (rightmost in the second row of the Paragraph group). Click the down
arrow on the button and click Borders and Shading at the bottom of the dropdown
menu. In the dialog that opens, first make sure the Apply To box is set to
Paragraph. The items in the middle column of the dialog let you change the
style, color, and width (thickness) of the border line. Then click the bottom
line of the preview to apply the changes, and click OK.
