How to properly underline blank space after text in Microsoft Word?

I am trying to underline the space after a heading in Microsoft Word. I have managed to fake it by using some _ underscore characters like so.

However, I would like the line to appear higher so it is in line with the baseline of the text instead of just below it. If I use a border, I can see that it's possible to adjust the underline position but the border then gets applied to the whole line instead of the space after the text.

Use the TAB character. Then you can use the normal underline in Word on your tabulators. You can control the length of the underline by placing a tab stop.
