Underline words and the spaces between them

The quickest way to underline text is to press Ctrl+U and start typing. When you want to stop underlining, press Ctrl+U again.

You can also underline text and spaces in several other ways.

What do you want to do?	Example
Underline words and the spaces between them
Underline words, but not the spaces between them
Change the underline style and color
Use a double underline
Underline blank spaces
Remove underlining	_{text without underline}

Select the text that you want to underline.
Go to Home > Underline. Or press Ctrl+U.

Underline words, but not the spaces between them

Select the text that you want to underline.
Go to Home and select Font dialog box launcher .
Go to Font and select Words only in the Underline style drop-down list.

Change the underline style and color

Select the text that you want to underline.
Go to Home and select Font dialog box launcher .

Tip: You can also use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+D.
Use the Underline style drop-down list to select an underline style.

Use the Underline color drop-down list to change the color of the line.

Use a double underline

Select the text that you want to underline.
Go to Home and select Font dialog box launcher .
Select double underline in the Underline style drop-down list.

Underline blank spaces

You can underline blank spaces by pressing Shift+Hyphen (-), but it is difficult to line up the underlines — if you are creating a fill-in form, for example. Also, if the AutoFormat option for changing underscore characters into border lines is turned on, pressing Shift+Hyphen (-) three or more times in a row will result in a line that extends the width of the paragraph, which may not be what you want.

A better way to underline blank spaces for a printed document is to use the Tab key and apply the underline formatting to the tab characters.

When you want to create an underline in an online form, insert table cells with the bottom border turned on.

Underline blank spaces for a printed document

To underline blank spaces for a printed document, use the Tab key and apply the underline formatting to the tab characters.

Go to Home > Show/Hide ¶ so that you can see the marks that indicate spaces and tab stops.
Press the Tab key.
Select the tab characters that you want to underline. A tab character looks like a small arrow.
Do one of the following:
- Press Ctrl+U to apply a simple underline.
- To apply a different style of underline, go to Home and select Font dialog box launcher .
  
  Select Underline style to choose a different underline style.

Underline blank spaces for an online document

To create an underline in an online document or form, insert a table cell with the bottom border turned on. This method ensures that when someone types on the line, the line stays in place.

Click or tap where you want to insert a blank underline.
Go to Insert > Table.
Select the upper-left box to insert a 1×1 Table.

If you want to add introductory text, such as a name or Social Security Number, before the underline, insert a 2×1 Table.

To change the length of the line, move the pointer over the end of the table until it becomes a resize pointer , and then move the arrow right or left to lengthen or shorten the line.
Click or tap in the table (or in the second table cell if you created a 2×1 table).
The Table Tools appear. On the Design tab, select Borders > Borders and Shading.
Under Setting, select None.
Under Style, select the line type, color, and width that you want.
In the diagram under Preview, click or tap between the lower margin markers to add the bottom border. Make sure only the bottom line is displayed.

Note: If you prefer to view the table without the light gray gridlines that do not print, select the table, go to Layout next to the Table Design tab and select View Gridlines.

If you used a 2×1 table to make room for introductory text, you can type the text before the line.

Remove underlining

To remove single underlining from words and spaces, select the underlined text and press Ctrl+U.

To remove other styles of underlining, press Ctrl+U twice.

Microsoft Word provides a rich list feature that allows you to create custom numbered and bulleted lists, but making some changes to the way a list appears may not be intuitive. If you want to align the bullets in a list with the text paragraphs preceding or following it, you must change the margin. You can do so by changing the paragraph settings of the list to match those of the paragraphs.

Click anywhere inside of the paragraph in which you want to align your bulleted list. Click the dialog launcher in the lower-right corner of the Paragraph section of the Home tab to open the Paragraph dialog box. Note the number in the Before Text box in the Indentation section. Click «OK» to close the dialog.
Click anywhere inside the bulleted list. Click the dialog launcher in the lower-right corner of the Paragraph section of the Home tab to open the Paragraph dialog box.
Change the number in the Before Text box in the Indentation section to match the number in the Paragraph settings. Click «OK» to apply the changes and align the list with the paragraph.

Insert Lines in Microsoft Word Documents

by Avantix Learning Team | Updated October 9, 2021

Applies to: Microsoft^®Word^® 2010, 2013, 2016, 2019 and 365 (Windows)

You can insert a line in Word using the Ribbon or by using keyboard shortcuts. It’s best to avoid drawing lines and instead insert border lines in Microsoft Word (normally paragraph borders) so the line or lines will move as you edit the document.

In this article, we’ll focus on inserting lines using borders attached to paragraphs. In Microsoft Word, anything with a hard return after it is a paragraph. If you use border lines, you can customize the type of border, line thickness and color. You can also include paragraph border lines in styles so they will appear throughout your document. If you draw lines using Insert Shapes, you’ll have to worry about the line being inline or floating.

You can insert a line in Word in 3 ways using borders:

Use the Borders command on the Home tab in the Ribbon
Select and apply different types of lines using the Borders and Shading dialog box
Insert different types of lines using keyboard shortcuts (which add lines using AutoCorrect)
