<DIV>I don't know about LaTeX, but the following works like a charm in Plain
Tex:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><BR>Item 1:$\underline{\phantom{xxxxx}}$ Item 2:$\underline{\phantom{xxx}}$
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Item 3:$\underline{\phantom{xxxxxxxxxxx}}$ Item
4:$\underline{\phantom{xxxxx}}$ <BR></DIV>
<DIV>The length of the underline is determined by the number of x's or X's in
the argument of \phantom.</DIV>
