normally \hfill{} would do it for me, but when I try to underbar it, it just
compresses back up to no space... most confusing.
but if I put in protected blanks (the same number of them as was letters in
the word) the underbar works correctly and looks ok. see the second
"paragraph" in the attachment.
Painful but works.
good luck.

What would really be

great is if I had a command to replace typed text

e.g.

This
