How did you create the underline? Is it a tab leader (Format | Tabs)
or underline formatting (Format | Font)?
Anyway, I think you'll find it a lot easier to use a table cell with a
bottom border to create the underline. See

I have a document that has underlining that change after 30
characters,
including spaces. I will try to explain the best I can. Say for
example one
section has the following; Project Name: ________ The underline
portion is
about 3 inches long using a tab to control length. If I select
"bold" type
and type in a project name less than 30 characters long including
spaces, the
line remains thin. However, as soon as I type in that magic 30th
character,
the line thickens as if it has also become bold and it prints that
way also,
looking very unprofessional having some lines thin and others thick.
I can
even put in just spaces and at the 30th space, the line gets thick.
I like
having the filled in portion in boldface but wish the lines would
just stay
their normal thickness. Any ideas, suggestions, thoughts? Hey you
over
there, stop laughing.
