I believe Mark's question relates to character range underlining, and not paragraph level underlining via "frame below" options.
One respondent earlier (sorry, can't quickly find out whom) to Mark's essentially identical question suggested that underlining may be a property of the font, and thus a custom (customized?) typeface possibly would provide the capability. As far as I know, there is no easy way to manage this in FrameMaker directly. The only possible mechanism I can see for this is to completely compose and finalize your document so there will be NO line ending or page break changes, and then use Frame's drawing tools to overlay a line of the type you desire on the page before generating the PDF. This would allow you to use different line styles (such as dashed or dotted) or colors (grey) if desired. You could place the custom "underline" in a graphic frame on the page itself, but that is an unnecessary step. If this is a critical requirement for your document, then Frame really is not the tool to use.
