I am not even sure if there isn't a proper typographical term for this thing. I use it for a questionnaire, where I have questions like:

I have worked ____ years in this job position

If I write the questionnaire in Word, I can use 3-4 underscores in row, and it will appear to be an uninterrupted horizontal line in the middle of the sentence. But if I try the same thing in LaTeX, I get discrete underscores, which look ugly.

There must be a better way to do this. What can I use?

\makebox[2cm]{\hrulefill} (use the dimension you want instead of 2cm) – egreg Mar 05 '12 at 15:43
