Perhaps I was assuming too much. In the Insert ribbon tab, click Header -
Edit Header. Use the Zoom tool (on the status bar or in the View ribbon tab)
to display the whole page (about 60% usually does it).
Click the Insert ribbon tab again. Now, click Shapes - Rounded Rectangle
(6th from the left in Basic Shapes). This turns the mouse pointer into a
plus sign... drag to insert a rounded rectangle that takes up the same
position as a page border would; release the mouse button when it's the
correct size. You can resize and move as needed to make it the desired size
and position.
Right -click the edge of the shape and choose Format - AutoShape. In the
Colors and Lines tab, set Fill Color: to No Color. You can set the line
color/style/weight/etc. now, or use the Drawing Tools - Format ribbon tab
later to change the color/weight/etc. of the border as needed. Click OK.
Click the Header & Footer Tools - Design ribbon tab, then click Close Header
and Footer.
If you need to adjust the size/position, return to Header - Edit Header in
the Insert ribbon tab, select the border, drag, etc. Use the yellow handle
(might be hard to spot) to change the amount of rounding at the corners.
Done this way, the shape will be repeated in the same way as other
header/footer material, governed by the settings in Page Setup dialog
(Layout tab), and depending on whether you have multiple document sections
that use the same or a different header.
