Underlining figures in tables
In the past, whenever a document has had columns of dollar amounts and
totals, I've always placed a narrow-width column between each regular column so that when underlining the cells above the "Total," in each column, it would not appear as one straight line spanning several columns. However, I've just taken over a long document from someone else who has underlined the last items in the columns before the totals--and the lines do not extend all across the column; in other words, they look like mine, but without all the trouble I've gone through! Please tell me there's an easier way than what I've been doing. Thanks again!! |

Underlining figures in tables
Well, you can of course use Underline formatting (adding spaces as required
to make the line longer). Or you can add a bottom border to the paragraph rather than the cell, adjusting the left and right paragraph indents as needed. The latter is more attractive but very fiddly. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "Island Girl" wrote in message ...

You're welcome. Examination of the document you're working with should
disclose which method has been used. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "Island Girl" wrote in message ...
