Default Underlining a Text Form Field

I am using Word 2007 on Vista and am creating a document through the Developer Ribbon using the Legacy controls. I am more comfortable with the old ones but have a question on the Text Form Fields. I am using these fields throughout the document for items such as Name, Age, Date, etc. and I need these fields to be underlined. When I enter the control into the document I highlight the entire field and use CTRL+U to underline it. All is good until I actually use the document to enter customer data; all of my fields seem to lose their Underline.
What am I doing wrong?

Thank you as always,
denny

Lene,
thank you, I'll have to start over and create the document as a Table. It will work for me in this case but what if I simply needed to have a single Text field in a letter document, in which case a Table would be inappropriate.
