You can change a Compatibility Option to "Draw underline on trailing
spaces," but if you don't always want to do this, you can force Word to do
it on an ad hoc basis by adding a nonbreak space (Ctrl+Shift+Spacebar) at
the end of the series of spaces. Or, if you have any text following the
underlined spaces, the space will be underlined. Or you can use an
underlined tab character. Or you can use an underline tab leader.
