The first two footers in the gallery, "Blank" and "Blank (Three
Columns)", don't have any bar.

The bar in the next two, Alphabet and Annual, and in Conservative is a
paragraph border. With the cursor in the footer, go to the Home
ribbon, Paragraph group, click the down arrow on the Border button
(between the paint can and the "AZ" Sort button), and choose No Border
to remove the bar.

Or you can first click "Remove Footer" at the bottom of the gallery to
clean off the preformatted footer you already inserted, then click
"Edit Footer" at the bottom of the gallery to type in anything you
want. With the cursor in the footer pane, the Header & Footer Tools
ribbon becomes available, and the Page Number gallery is in the
left-most group there. You can also use Insert > Quick Parts > Field
to insert other fields in the footer, or press Ctrl+F9 and type the
desired field code between the braces.
