Are you saying that a horizontal rule can be applied with styles?

What I ended up doing was:

1. save docx file as filtered html
2. open html file with notepad, copy contents into a new docx file
3. Find:</p>, Replace:</p><hr>
4. copy contents into new notepad file and save with html extension
5. open html file with Word and save as docx file

This did the job.
