My mistake: in my previous post I've typed "bottom" instead of "after". 
The correct value for attribute "display-align" is "after", not "bottom".

Please customize the XSLT stylesheet which generates XSL-FO and then 
.docx as explained in "Customizing a stock XSLT stylesheet". See 
http://www.xmlmind.com/foconverter/_distrib/doc/help/com.xmlmind.xslutil.ConversionEditor.html#customizing_xslt

Using a recent version of XMLmind XSL Utility, this can be done from 
within the application without having to hand-edit any file.

You'll have to modify the "header-left", "header-center" and 
"header-right" attribute-sets by adding the following attribute:

display-align

to value:

after

See attached screenshot.

display-align reference is found here: 
http://www.w3.org/TR/xsl/#display-align

PS: I've also attached to this email the XSLT stylesheet customization 
file which has been generated for me by XMLmind XSL Customizer, the 
helper application invoked by XMLmind XSL Utility.
