Variable length rule below paragraph

[Scott Prentice]

This may be too obvious, and not customizable, but the use of a Numeric 
Underline does basically what you're asking for (as long as the line 
doesn't wrap).

In addition to the table method described, I've also seen this done 
using an anchored frame (At Insertion Point) at the end of the paragraph 
after a soft-return (Shift+Enter) .. put your rule inside the anchored 
frame and make it wider than you'll need, the anchored frame will hide 
the extra. Although this is still a hack, it's very easy to stretch it 
to fit the width of the text and you can copy and paste the return+frame 
wherever you want.
