Microsoft Publisher 2007 - Apply a Variety of Underline Styles

SUMMARY: Underline text in Publisher 2007 documents in multiple ways including double underlining, dashes, and waves.

It's easy to underline text in Microsoft Publisher 2007 documents - select the text and press the underline button in the toolbar or press Ctrl + U. But what if that isn't enough to draw attention to the text and you want to double-underline it? And the options in Publisher don't stop there - you can perform other types of underlines:

* Single
* Double
* Words Only
* Dotted
* Thick Dot
* Thick
* Dash
* Long Dash
* Thick Dash
* Thick Long Dash
* Dot Dash
* Thick Dot Dash
* Dot Dot Dash
* Thick Dot Dot Dash
* Wave
* Double Wave
* Thick Wave

1. Highlight the word or words you want to underline.

2. Select "Format" - "Font" or right-click and choose "Change Text" - "Font".

3. The "Font" dialog box appears. Underneath "Underline", choose your desired underline style. Sample text will appear below in the "Sample" box.

4. Click "OK" to close the dialog box.

Although this option gives you plenty of options, please be conservative and use only one or two styles per document - not like the example I showed above (grin).
