If you are using the Ctrl+U shortcut or the Underline button, you are
applying a single underline. If you want a different underline style (word
underline, double underline, etc.), then you need to use a different
shortcut or button. There are built-in shortcuts for some underline styles,
and you can assign shortcuts for others. There are toolbar buttons available
for word, double, and dotted underline (the last has no icon, however).

That's good really helps. Not to beat it to death Suzanne because what I
found was that there was no "stickiness" to this. In other words every
set
of words you have to underline, (which will be continuous by default) then
go and reset it to separate words--and the next time you have to go to the
FormatFontUnderline style pulldown and reinstate it and so on. This
will
save time. No any way to make underlines for separate words stay--any
place
to set the "rule" until you "unset the rule?"

Keyboard shortcut is Ctrl+Shift+W, or you can add a toolbar button for
Word
Underline.

Simple problem but annoying. When I hit the Underline button on the
Word
toolbar, it underlines continuously instead of per each word. How do
I
make
it underline per each word without tediously having to cut part of the
underline and move the text and then move it back. Has to be the way.

Thanks much,

Chad Harris


Select the text to be underlined, go to Format Font, pull down the
list for Underline Style, and select "Words only".
