Default how to add a double underbar in an equation

When you have a result in an equation, you are supposed to double underline
it... How can you do this in the equation editor in word 2007? It is so
simple in equation 3.0, that I can only believe that it has been left out by
the gravest mistake... Which should be punished severely :-) (joking)

I agree it's odd that this has been omitted. [I don't think that double
underlining is something you should really do (there are better ways to
format something important, like bold), but that's not really the point
here ... :-)]

So, I guess I'd "cheat" a little. Unfortunately, you cannot use the
double underline from the font menu (as this seems to underline the
whole equation). Well, you conceivably *could* split up the equation and
then only underline the result like this.

Another thing I just tested is to use a borderless 2x1 matrix where the
result goes, leave the lower position empty but assign it a double upper
line. Then select the whole matrix and, through the context menu (right
mouse button) set the matrix aligment to "top."

Looks surprisingly good here. A hack, certainly!
