This style can be used to simulate the look of an HTML link. Underline (also known as underscore) text is often used to emphasize a word or phrase within a sentence. This tool generates underlined text (like t̲h̲i̲s̲ or t̳h̳i̳s̳) using unicode characters. Underline y͟o͟u͟r͟ t͟e͟x͟t͟ on Facebook, Twitter, and everywhere else. It wouldn't be satisfactory to add the underline while you are still editing (adding and deleting) text, but it could be a final touch you add to your document.Īnother option is to use special "Underline fonts" That way you could change not only the position of the line, but also its weight and other characteristics. If you have a need to add underlines like this a lot, you might consider just adding a graphic line under your text. (Like I said, it won't work for all uses.) If, however, there is text before or after it, then it will look strange. It works great if the text you are underlining is the only text in the paragraph. Obviously, the acceptability of this approach will depend on how your text appears in your document. (You just can't see it because it is too small.) Your leading space should now "disappear," though it is still really there.
So, some trial and error may be needed with this setting.) (Something like 5 or 6 points works well, but it really is going to depend on the size of the font you are using for your text. In the By field, just to the right of the Position drop-down list, choose how much you want the text raised vertically.
Using the Position drop-down list, choose Raised.Make sure the Advanced tab of the dialog box is displayed.In my example, I would choose just "Allen Wyatt" without the leading space. Select all of the text you just underlined, but don't include the leading space in the selection.Now the leading space and your text should all be underlined, like normal. Don't select anything after the text, including a paragraph mark that may be there. Select all of the text you just typed, including the leading space.For instance, I might type " Allen Wyatt" with the leading space. Type the text you want to underline, but make sure there is a space just before the text.You can, however, "trick" Word into changing the underline position. Word allows you to choose a style of underlining (single, double, dotted, wavy, etc.), but the position of the underline is hard coded into the program, as far as I can tell. She wonders if there is a way to move the stroke of the underline down, vertically, so the underline doesn't touch the bottoms of any character descenders. Loriann underlines a fair amount of text in some of her documents.
