Can no longer underline
I can no longer underline in Word using either Ctrl+U or the toolbar. Is the
trouble with Word, my computer or my keyboard? Thanks for all of your help--past, present and, of course---future! |

Bizarre! Are you sure you haven't accidentally enabled Draft Fonts? Can you
assign Italics (Ctrl+I) or Bold (Ctrl+B)? -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "Island Girl" wrote in message ... I can no longer underline in Word using either Ctrl+U or the toolbar.

To troubleshoot, you could check what's assigned to the shortcut, and to the toolbar button. You do that by first using the built-in command "ToolsCustomizeKeyboardShortcut": Press and hold Ctrl, press and hold Alt, then press "+" on the numeric keypad at the right of your keyboard. The cursor should now look like a clover leaf ("control symbol"). With that cursor, click on the underline button on the formatting toolbar. Or use the shortcut for "underline" (Ctrl+U). In both cases, the "Customize keyboard" dialog should pop up. And it should have "Underlined" as the command. If you see something else there (say a macro), you've found the culprit. Regards, Klaus |

Can no longer underline
Hi, Terry:
Thanks so much for your reply! I can italicize and bold words, but no underline. As to enabling Draft Fonts, I'm not familiar with that feature, Terry. How would one go about doing that?

Can no longer underline
Obvious, but just for clarification :-)...
Is it possible that you're using a particularly low Zoom percentage? If so, the underline may be there but is simply too fine to be displayed. Does the toolbar button appear to remain engaged or is the formatting indicated as actually being applied? What happens if you zoom to 100% or Page Width? Is underlining visible in Print Preview? One more dumb question: Is it possible that the color for Underline has been modified in the Font Formatting dialog?

Can no longer underline
Thanks so much for your reply, Klaus! Your internet articles on Microsoft
Word have contributed so much to my word processing career. The ToolsCustomizeKeyboard indicates that Ctrl+U is assigned to underline. I also learned through your reply what the dickens that little clover was that from time to time has appeared mysteriously! And that's just one of the things I've learned from you, Klaus! Thanks again! "Klaus Linke" wrote: "Island Girl" wrote: I can no longer underline in Word using either Ctrl+U or the toolbar. Is the trouble with Word, my computer or my keyboard?

Can no longer underline
Hi
It cannot be the drafts font option because neither Bold, Italics or other formatting would show up as such - not just underlines. Do the underlines (that you cannot see) actually print? What happens if you start in Safe Mode? From Start | Run, type in winword /a and press enter. Can you underline now in Safe Mode? And Bob's suggestions about font colour too?
