That's OK, Maria, you actually got it right. The underscore is a low line, in the sense that if there was something written on the base line above it, the underscore would appear like an underline. But as you pointed out, when the underscore is typed, it is not placed under anything, not even the word or character that follows it. Now, if you want to underline a text, then position your cursor at the start and press ENTER with U, then N, to turn underlining on; then place the cursor at the end of the text, press ENTER with U again, then F to turn underlining off. The QT command would be CTRL with U. This will only be seen in ink-print results, not in embossing.
