Do not want underline to be bold!!

1.  Every time I make underlined text bold in Word 2002, it also makes the underline itself bold.  How can I stop this??!

2.  I typed some spaces before and after some text so when I selected and underlined it, it would appear the text was filled in a "blank."  But the one that was at the end of a line would make the underline stop right after the text and would ignore the spaces.   Help please.  Thanks!

1. This is probably just a display issue. Are you sure you can tell a difference between "bold underline" and "not bold underline" if you print the document? If there is a difference, will choosing a different font improve the situation?

2. Use nonbreaking spaces; these will be underlined. To add a nonbreaking space, press Ctrl+Shift+SpaceBar. Alternatively, if you are really setting up a form, you can make use of table cells with a bottom border instead.
