I am trying to underline the space after a heading in Microsoft Word. I have managed to fake it by using some _ underscore characters like so.

Underline example

However, I would like the line to appear higher so it is in line with the baseline of the text instead of just below it. If I use a border, I can see that it's possible to adjust the underline position but the border then gets applied to the whole line instead of the space after the text.

    Assuming you are building a document for someone to complete ... Putting an underline along any open space in a paragraph will only work if you are printing the document and someone then fills it in with a pencil or pen. If they are to complete the form by typing, then you should use a text box content control or a table cell.

Use the TAB character. Then you can use the normal underline in Word on your tabulators. You can control the length of the underline by placing a tab stop.
