Thanks for pointing that out Brian.
It’s text. I tried selecting the “convert text to curves” option when exporting to pdf, which didn’t help. But I didn’t try converting the text to curves before exporting. I did find a simple fix for my purposes, by just making some edits in Acrobat after export. But I still believe this is a bug. 

Yes I wish we had more underline control. In InDesign I would control the underline to make it thicker, transparent, and lower giving it a much more professional appearance. In Publisher, I'm stuck with the same color as the text (I think), just a thin line and wherever the font positions it. 

Wow thanks everyone for all this helpful info! The mock-up is exactly what I need @Wosven!
@firstdefence is that all done with layer effects? I have not had any success with layer effects because I always get a raised look. But what you did looks perfect. Could it be that I need a color overlay?
Thanks @v_kyr for sending me to those resources. Will download and try.
Thanks @Ron P. and @Alfred for your suggestions about letterpress techniques.
And thanks @GarryP for the suggestion about layer effects.
Once I get back to my computer I’ll give all of this a try and post back my results!

And you can have fun with a mockup

I thought I had already checked the baseline grid but I checked again and that fixed my issue. Thanks!

Thanks for the help. I finally found it. I didn’t realize you could scroll down for more export options!
