In a WORD document, I used to be able to type 3 underscore characters that
would change into a line that streched from left to right margin. I must have
turned off the option to do this, because now the 3 underscores remain in my
word document. The lines that are already in the document are still there,
but no new ones are created. I am using WORD 2003, but this function exists
in many previous releases.

In Tools > AutoCorrect Options > AutoFormat As You Type, check the box for
"Border lines".
