Word-underline with no text

[Mervyn & Giuliana Bond]

I have been caused to use Word from Office 98 and wish to create a 
simple form to collect name, address etc.
In Appleworks I would type Name and then click on Underline and use 
the space bar to draw a line to the desired length. Word does not 
seem capable of this.  I have a manual and have searched that for 
clues as well as 'online' help.
Is this simple task possible?
Help please.
