Workarounds:

o Type three or more asterisks, underscores, equals signs, negative 
signs, hash marks, or swung dashes as a new paragraph (immediately 
followed by Enter, that is).  Instead of seeing a new paragraph, you 
will see one of a variety of borders attached to the preceding 
paragraph.  This line is a property of that paragraph, not an entity 
by itself - but the relevant paragraph can be otherwise empty, of course.

o You can instead apply such borders directly to a paragraph or 
paragraph style.  Right-click in the paragraph and select 
Paragraph... or Edit Paragraph Style... as preferred.  Go to the 
Borders tab and select a style and position for a border - above or 
below the paragraph.  Again, the paragraph itself could be empty.

I trust this helps.
