Underline trailing spaces in Word for Mac

[stxnpx]

How do I underline trailing spaces in Word? I'd like to type some text that is underlined, with the underline also being a couple of characters before and after the textx. Thanks!

This seems obvious enough that I'm guessing you tried it but can you just add a couple of spaces with underline selected? I know in Open Office if you hit the space bar with underline selected it will add a line with no text so word might be the same.
