No, no operator. You need to have a table of character widths. You can work out the old width and the new width, then adjust the left side of the new string (by half of the difference).

This is a very difficult task; you have to identify which objects are the old underline, remove them, and draw a new underline to the appropriate width. Much easier if you don't have to remove the old - can you stop Word doing that, or edit your template manually first? Underlines are not generally done with "re" but by lines and strokes. Ignore what you see in the file and create your own new line.
