When Appending a CE Report as a Word Doc ensure Heading is outside of appended document report area

Feature Request: CE Report Word Append Header Placement

Summary:
Enable appended CE reports in Word output to place section headers outside and above the report content area, rather than inside the bordered report region. The output should include both the report header and the CV header while respecting the margins defined in the Cost Volume document.

Problem Statement:
Currently, when a CE report is appended as a Word document, the section header and heading numbering are placed inside the thick border of the appended report. This formatting can also carry over into the next heading section, creating distortion in the overall Cost Volume document layout. As a result, users must manually rework formatting to correct inconsistencies, which adds effort, delays production, and reduces final document quality.

Proposed Solution:
Update the Word output behavior for appended CE reports so that section headers appear outside and above the bordered report area.
Include both the CE report header and the Cost Volume header in the output where applicable.
Ensure the appended report respects the margin settings already defined in the Cost Volume document.
Prevent report border formatting from carrying forward into subsequent heading sections or surrounding document content.
Maintain consistent heading placement and formatting across appended sections to reduce the need for manual cleanup.

Benefits:
Improves formatting consistency in final Word deliverables.
Reduces manual rework required after appending CE reports.
Helps prevent production delays caused by formatting corrections.
Preserves document quality by aligning appended content with Cost Volume header and margin settings.
Creates a more reliable and professional output for customer-facing documents.
