I suggest that you put in your line of underlines (at, say, 
12 pt). Position the cursor anywhere in the paragraph that 
is the underline. Position the line you are working on at
the top of the page. Select "Paragraph..." from the Format 
menu. In the "Line:" box under "Spacing:" enter "-2". Click 
"Apply". The underline will move up snug as it can get to 
the line above it. If you wish to move it down a point 
change it to "-3" and click "Apply" again. Continue to 
increase the magnitude of the line spacing until you are
satisfied. The "-" sign is a powerful tool, indeed!
