Word 2010 – How to underline a heading, which was aligned to the right and indented to the left, over the whole text area

indentationmicrosoft wordmicrosoft-word-2010

I have typeset a heading (heading 1, to be exact) with the following properties:

  • alignment of heading 1: right-aligned

  • indentation of heading 1: 12 cm (meaning each heading has a horizontal space of 12 cm on its right)

  • paragraph box/frame of heading 1: underlined

Now the problem is that the underline only goes to the very end of the last letter of each heading, i.e. the indentation border 12 cm from the right text area. I'd like to have the underline go to the very right of the text area. How can I do that?
