In Latin have I have to underline one letter in a word to show the length of
a vowel. Using CTRL U before and after one letter is laborious. is there a
more easy way?

Select the letter after the fact and then use control-U?

Place cursor before the letter, then shift-arrow might be easier than using
the mouse, for such fine control.

I'm not sure how there could be an easy way to do this. If the above
doesn't work for you, somewhere in Tools | Options (either Edit or General),
there is a setting something like "when selecting, selecting entire word"
that probably needs to be turned off.

FWIW, as a former Latin teacher I must say I've never seen letters
underlined to show long vowels. Why not instead use vowels with proper
macrons? Find them in the Latin Extended-A character subset in the Insert |
Symbol dialog.
