I might not do it the "right" way, but it works for me: Place two tab marks
in the horizontal ruler, for example on the 1" mark and on the 1.5" mark.
Then place your cursor at the first tab, hit the underline button and hit the
tab button twice. Then place your cursor at the 2nd tab and begin typing.
Everything will be underlined. You can put the two tab marks as close
together as you want. I usually put them one "mark" apart for my business
forms, but you can do what you want. Hope this helps!
