MS Word, Horizontal Graphical Lines Accessibility

Hi,
We have Word documents that use graphical horizontal lines to separate pieces of content. JAWS says they are unlabeled shapes. When I press Control+Shift+O, they show up as objects not inline with the document. How can we make these read better for screen readers?

Thanks.

Jim
