Thanks, all, for your replies. This didn't really help either. What did help was reducing the length of all the lines to something a bit more managable. The problem is, I think, that no matter how I specify it, the lines are going to be a fixed length throughout. Sometimes this just breaks things terribly, especially when there are two lines on a single text row. The really smart thing to do would be to have a line that adjusts with the requirements of word and character spacing in a justified environment. What would really be great is if I had a command to replace typed text with a line of the same length. e.g. \hspace{\sizeof{theword}}. This command, of course, does not work. But could there be something like it?
Not completely sure about what you need, but have you looked at \hrulefill{} ? It works just like a \hfill (or the hfill insert) except that it is underlined.
