Thumbs up Answer: How do I stop Word from automatically underlining when I type?

Hey there! I can definitely help you with that. It sounds like the automatic underlining feature has been turned on in your Word program. Here's how you can turn it off:
  1. Open a new Word document.
  2. Click on the "File" tab in the top left corner of the screen.
  3. Click on "Options" at the bottom of the left-hand menu.
  4. In the Word Options window that appears, click on "Proofing" in the left-hand menu.
  5. Look for the "AutoCorrect Options" button and click on it.
  6. In the AutoCorrect window that appears, click on the "AutoFormat As You Type" tab.
  7. Under the "Replace as you type" section, look for the option that says "Underline as you type" and uncheck the box next to it.
  8. Click "OK" to save your changes and close the AutoCorrect window.
  9. Click "OK" again to close the Word Options window.

That's it! Now, Word should no longer automatically underline your text as you type. If you ever want to turn this feature back on, simply follow the same steps and check the box next to "Underline as you type" in the AutoCorrect window.
