Enter your name here: This is a rule \rule{2in}{0.1pt}

If you find that the rule is not quite the right height and you want to 
lower it then you can lower the box that the rule is typeset into like this:

Enter your name here: \raisebox{-1mm}{\rule{2in}{0.1pt}}

In the above I used -1mm (i.e. raise the box by negative 1mm) to show 
the effect, normally you might want to just lower it by 2pt or so.
