How do I underline text but let the line continue past the text?

[Guest]

I am trying to underline text on a line. I want the line to continue past
the text but it doesn't. I want it to look something like this.......

Sample...................... [I want the word "sample" to be underlined and
then have the line continue past the word "sample." Can anyone help?

Type the word 'Sample' plus as many extra spaces as you want, then at the
end of the line, type <CTRL><SHIFT><SPACE>

Mark the whole line and click the 'Underline Button' (or <CTRL> u)

Cheers,

Chris.

You type the word 'Sample' and then press TAB and Return. The TAB needs to
be formatted as a dot leader, right aligned to the right margin.

Fair enough, but my way does work too...

Not sure what '...formatted as a dot leader, right aligned to the right
margin' means though, a simple TAB seems to do the trick.

In fact, you way works perfectly. I missed that Sample needs to be
underlined, not just the following space to its right.

Tab leaders are what you see when you insert a ToC. It's a row of dots or a
line leading between a heading and the page number in that instance.

Also note that I never saw your reply before sending my reply: the Newsgroup
takes several minutes for messages to appear.
