How can I underline a word on a slide AFTER I've shown the slide?

Default Underlining words

The easiest way is to use ink (drawing on the slide with your mouse) or use
a separate animated line.

Will these underlines be done in a specific order?

Copy the word
Paste it
Underline it
Give it custom animation such as 'appear' 'after previous', either 'On
click' or after some time
Move it exactly over the original word.

I would not recommend doing this if the presentation will be
distributed to other people. The text in the original text frame could
easily be spaced differently due to font or platform differences on a
different computer, and then the overlapping text will not be in the
same place.

Although such a situation was not mentioned as a possibility by the OP,
you are correct of course, but some such procedure with a single word or
the whole line, like blanking it and replacing it with the underline,
might overcome the problem.
