Line spacing

In a column of figures,
how do I do I underline the last figure before total
without have an excess amount of space between the two numbers?
I tried kerning the total figure so it would be closer to the line
and find it prints ok, but cuts off the number.
Line spacing didn't work well, either.
Your thoughts????

You could draw a line (from the Drawing toolbar) and place it in the correct
position.

I'm reformatting a college catalog and need the underline as shown above,
but don't want that much space.
Have other ideas?

I cannot make the drawn lines consistent throughout the document. I read the
responses about truncating type using the kerning option.

I know I should use a publishing software to produce this catalog, but would
really like to keep the document in Word and publish from a PDF.

Are my options to use kerning or to draw each line individually?

Kerning is an adjustment to the horizontal position of the characters.
Nothing to do with vertical placement; so I can't see how that will help.

Use an exact line spacing, perhaps?

Thank you very much!
Exact line spacing worked with a little tweaking.

This is a Pagemaker document, imported into Quark, and stripped and placed
into Word. Although I cleared the formatting and started over with the
formatting, there are some codes that must be there that don't show up under
Reveal Formatting or using the paragraph symbol.

I inserted a line of em dashes under each column of numbers in the first
example.
I used exact spacing to place the em dashes as I wanted them.
I copied the line and inserted it under each column of numbers throughout
and deleted the previous line that would not move for some reason.

Worked great!

Thank you for helping me finish a major project!
Bless you!

Did you also try creating a bottom border on the text using an EQ \x field?

No.
I'm afraid you've exceeded my knowledge base by leaps and bounds.
How do you do it?
