________ (date) keep together the date under the underline

[Question about keeping words together]

______________
(Date)

How do I keep the word (Date) under the underline. If I fill in the current
date the word (Date) moves. How do I keep it from moving?

My recommended approach would be to use a two-row table with no borders
except between the rows. Centre the text "(Date)" in lower cell (and,
optionally, centre the text in the upper cell as well), and when you type the
date in the upper cell, the text in the lower cell won't move.

However, if the date needs to appear inline with other text, this approach
may not work. In this instance, perhaps overtyping is the answer. Press the
'Insert' key prior to typing the date.
