That's a Word97 bug, but not a fatal one. You can possibly tweak it
somehow in the stylesheet, as Richard Light has advised here. But if
you intend to print your document, then leave everything as it is. The
fact is that Word97 looses underscores only on screen (but not in
print). It does not draw them (due to some bug in font metric
calculations, or whatever), still it works out fine on hardcopy.

Best regards,
