Hello C. Masson,
[I'm in Word 2001. Word X may be a little different; post back if it's very
different and someone else will probably take over.]
You can of course format it directly by selecting the words and choosing
Format menu -> Font -> "Font" tab -> then select "Words only" in the
pop-down menu under "Underline style".
If you want to format text this way often, you'd be much better off
(quicker, more consistent, changeable globally later) by defining a
character style that incorporates words-only underlining. Post back if you
need some guidance on how to do this.

the best or complete solution is proposed, and sometimes you'll be asked for
further information so that a better answer can be provided. Good tips about

* If anyone is still reading down this far, here's a question: is it time
for you to back up your Normal template and all your Word settings files?
(This should be on a medium other than the internal hard drive and, if you
also want to protect against theft and fire, stored in a different
building.)
