Assuming you created that line with an Autoshape, did you look at your
Format Autoshape settings?

Hi MISS_DUKE,

To draw a horizontal line with a desired length in Microsoft Word, you can follow these steps:

1. Click on the "Insert" tab in the ribbon at the top of the Word window.
2. Click on the "Shapes" button in the "Illustrations" group.
3. Select the "Line" option from the drop-down menu.
4. Click and drag on the document where you want the line to start and end.
5. Release the mouse button when the line is the desired length.
6. To adjust the length of the line after it has been drawn, click on the line to select it, then click and drag one of the handles at either end of the line.

The auto entered line created by autoformat as you type is a border. To draw
a line of a given length you need the line drawing tools from the drawing
toolbar (Insert shapes in Word 2007). You can save the line as an
autotext/autocorrect entry for ease of repetition.

My requirement is to type some text and underline it, but the line
should go beyond the text; for example if the text is 3cm length, the
"underline" should go upto 5cm. (Like the same I will have multiple
lines). Using autoshape seems messy and difficult to place where we
want.

Are there any other ways?

Thank you.

I have to ask, what kind of document are you creating where someone is going
to measure your underline?

I think you have misunderstood my reply with cm measurements, I
mentioned this to explain my requirements but not to exactly measurethe
lengths of the lines.

Thank you.
