How do I insert lines under the text in a cell to improve presentation?
 
I use different borders for this sort of thing. Look in format - cells - border.
 
If you want all of the text underline, then you can click Format - Cells -Font and select from the Underline and Color dropdowns. If you want to underline individual words within a sentence, you can use the Line button of the Drawing ToolBar. Using that, you can make the line different colors and thickness by selecting Format AutoShape from the right-click menu of the line.
 
Or you can have Notepad open, have a couple of lines with one or two spaces on each line. This can be pasted into an Excel line to create a blank, or to split a block of text into paragraphs.

This also works from Notes in Outlook. And once you have one of these in Excel, you can paste it elsewhere.
