A simple way is to highlight the text that you type in and then choose to underline it.

If you press Insert before beginning to type the lines will be overtyped and not lose their positions. Pressing Insert again turns the overtyping off. Using a fixed width font for both the underlying and the overtyping (such as sans serif or courier) would keep the width of each character completely constant.

You can also create a form using the Form toolbar that will allow you to type in fields and avoid disrupting the format. However, I haven't used it to put in lines and then type on those lines, so I am not sure if that is possible.

Yet another approach would be to use Excel to set up the layout of your document and then use a bottom border (instead of an undeline font setting) for the cells that would otherwise contain the "underlining". Once set up you would have a very stable template for entering in the variables.
