6. Place the cursor where you want the line, then press Tab or type spaces, select that blank area, and press Ctrl + U to underline it. You can then type over that area without using a shape.

7. If you still want to use the line shape, right-click the line, choose Wrap Text, then try Behind Text or In Front of Text. You may also need to choose Fix position on page so it does not move with the text.
