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.
