Hi,

MS-Word does provide the underline feature. In the similar way, is there a possibility to insert single vertical stroke as well as double vertical stoke on the top f each character as mentioned below.

For the record, the inserted image is from a Telugu language manual. Please help me with your thoughts (or) recommendations to accomplish these strokes.

Thanks for reading

Try the following:
- Make sure that NumLock is on.
- Type a letter.
- Press Alt+781 for a single vertical line above, or Alt+782 for a double vertical line above, using the digits on the numeric keypad.
- Alternatively, type 030D in the document, then press Alt+X for a single vertical line above.
- Similar for a double vertical line above, but with 030E.

Hi,

Thanks for posting here.

This forum(Word for Developers) is for developer discussions and questions involving Microsoft Word, like developing issues related with Word Object model.

Since your issue is more related to Word Product, I would move this thread into the following forum

https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/home?forum=word

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestion. But, the challenge is towards making this automated way, through C# program.

Thus, please help me with the mechanism for identifying the same as either ASCII or any

Hi,

Thanks for alerting me. But, surprisingly, I couldn’t find a specific forum for Word alone. Apart of that, my interest is to have some information for the developers, not for content writers.

I would like to understand how can I make the automation for the given steps by Hans.

Hi Chakravarthy,

If you want to make the automation for the given steps by Hans, you may try to record a macro when manually doing this. Then, you can consider to convert the recording script to C#. I have tried recording the process and here is the recorded macro:
```
Selection.TypeText Text:="text"
    Selection.MoveLeft Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1, Extend:=wdExtend
Selection.TypeText Text:=ChrW(781)
```
We thought you wanted to do this manually so your question was moved to our forum, which is for general questions and feedback related to Microsoft Word. If you want to automate the process via C#, the

Word for Developers forum is dedicated to your request. I’d recommend you post a new question to the Word for Developers forum, or if you like, I can help move the thread back to the Word for Developers forum.

Thank you for your understanding.

Best Regards,

Steve Fan

Hi,

I have tried the mentioned. I have got the result as displayed in the first line of the below image. Please note the long vertical line that has the double lines at the top. All I want is, from the second line.

Will that be a possibility?

Well, guess that you have not given attention to the position of » .. they are not appearing on top of the Char, but, next to the char as superscript.

Underlining is a common task in Word, and easily done, but what if you need to overline (also called overscore or overbar), some text? Overlining is common in scientific fields, but there are various reasons for overlining text. However, Word doesn’t make it easy.

You can apply overlining to your text in Word using a field code or the equation editor, or you can add a paragraph border to the top of the text.

Using a Field Code

First, we’ll show you how to use a field code to apply overlining to text. Open an existing or new document in Word and place the cursor where you want to put the text with overlining. Press “Ctrl + F9” to insert field code brackets, which are highlighted in gray. The cursor is automatically placed in between the brackets.

Enter the following text between the brackets.

EQ x to()

NOTE: There is a space between “EQ” and “x” and between “x” and “t()”. “EQ” is the field code used to create an equation and the “x” and “to” are switches used to format the equation or text. There are other switches you can use in the EQ field code, including ones that apply bottom, right, left, and box borders to the equation or text.

Put the cursor between the parentheses and enter the text you want to overline.

To display this as text rather than a field code, right-click anywhere in the field code and select “Toggle Field Codes” from the popup menu.

The text you entered into the field code displays with a line above it. When the field code displays as normal text, you can highlight it and apply various formatting to it, such as font, size, bold, color, etc.

NOTE: To display the field code again, simply right-click in the text and select “Toggle Field Codes” again. When you put the cursor in text generated from using a field code, the text is highlighted in gray, just like the field code.

If you want the line to extend beyond either end of the text, add spaces when entering the text into the field code. This is useful for creating lines with names under them for signing official documents.

Field codes work in all versions of Word, for both Windows and Mac.

Using the Equation Editor

You can also apply overlining to text using the equation editor. To do so, click the “Insert” tab in your Word document.

In the “Symbols” section of the “Insert” tab, click “Equation”.

The “Design” tab under “Equation Tools” displays. In the “Structures” section, click “Accent” to access various accents you can apply to the top of the text in the equation. There are two different accents you can use. Select either the “Bar” under “Accents” on the drop-down menu…

…or select the “Overbar” under “Overbars and Underbars”. The “Overbar” produces a slightly longer line above the text than the “Bar”.

The selected accent displays over the small dotted box in the equation object.

To enter your text, click on the dotted box to select it.

Type your text into the dotted box. The line extends to cover the text as you type.

Click outside of the equation object to view the finished “equation”, or overlined text.

Notice that when entering a hyphenated word or phrase into an equation in the Equation Editor, such as “How-To Geek”, there are spaces before and after the dash. That’s because it’s an equation and Word is treating the dash as a minus sign between two operands. If you would rather not have those spaces (or if you don’t have the Equation Editor installed), the first method above, or the following method, may work better for you.

Adding a Paragraph Border

Applying an overline to text can also be accomplished using paragraph borders. Type the text you want to overline into your Word document and make sure the “Home” tab is active on the ribbon bar. Click the down arrow on the “Borders” button in the “Paragraph” section of the “Home” tab.

Select “Top Border” from the drop-down menu.

The line above the paragraph extends from the left margin to the right margin. However, you can adjust the indents for that paragraph to shorten the line. To do this, you must make the ruler visible. Click the “View” tab.

In the “Show” section of the “View” tab, click the “Ruler” check box so there is a check mark in the check box.

To change the indents for the paragraph, put the cursor in the paragraph and put your mouse over one of the indent markers on the ruler. For this example, we’ll make the “Right Indent” bigger, shortening the line from the right.

NOTE: To move the left indent, put your mouse over the small box directly under the two small triangles on the left side of the ruler to move the triangles together. Do NOT move the triangles separately.

Click and drag the indent until the line is the length you want.

Release the mouse button when you’re done moving the indent. The line is now shorter.

Until Microsoft adds this capability as a regular feature, these methods provide ways around the limitation. They may not be as easy as highlighting text and clicking a single button, or pressing a shortcut key, but they’ll work in a pinch.

Easiest ever method!

September 2018: Anik8G, a commenter on this post, shared his solution and it’s super easy. You can probably ignore all other solutions and use his. He has a short YouTube video that describes what he does: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_h7ukThU_4, but you’ll likely need a little more information for it to work.

His solution uses the built-in Math AutoCorrect feature, which you need to turn on if it’s not already on. It’s under File > Options > Proofing. Click the AutoCorrect Options button, then select the Math AutoCorrect tab and check the two check boxes.

Look at the Replace and With lists, and note down the Replace string you want to add over your letter (in this example, I needed bar). Click OK and get back to your document. Now, type your letter, followed immediately by the Replace string, then a space. For my example, I typed Dbar<space> and that automatically added a bar over the top of the letter. Just brilliant!

Method 1: Use Word’s Equation Editor

Option 1: Use a built-in accent character

Go to the Insert tab > Symbols group (far right), then click Equation.
Select Insert New Equation from the bottom of the list.

This opens the Equation Tools > Design tab and puts a Type equation here box into your document.
Click Accent on the Design tab > Structures group.
Scroll down past the Boxed Formulas section to the Overbars and Underbars section.
Click the Overbar icon.

You’ll see something like this in your document:
Click in the dashed box, then type D.
Click outside the equation box to hide it; you can show it again by clicking on the D with the macron.

Your character will look like this:

Option 2: Create your own

Go to the Insert tab > Symbols group (far right), then click Equation.
Select Insert New Equation from the bottom of the list. This opens the Equation Tools > Design tab and puts a Type equation here box into your document.
Type D in the equation box, then select it.
Click Accent on the Design tab > Structures group.
Click the Bar icon.

You’ll see something like this:
Click in the dashed box, then type D.
Click away from the equation box to hide it; you can show it again by clicking on the D with the macron.

Your character will look like this:

Note that the macron created using this option is slightly narrower than that created using the built-in accent (above), and is closer to the top of the letter.

Advantages:

Quick and easy
You get a properly formatted macron over the letter

Disadvantages:

You may not be able to change the font (I wasn’t able to change it from Cambria Math)
If you copy this equation from one Word document to another, you must remember to select Keep Source Formatting as soon as you paste it, otherwise the letter and its macron are treated as two separate characters.

Method 2: Use Word’s Equation field, with switches

To use this method, you need to know the character code to create a macron. If you have a numeric keypad, it’s Alt+0175; if you have a keyboard without a numeric keypad, it’s 00af (they are zeros) followed immediately by Alt+x. Test these key combinations in your document first to make sure you can create the macron successfully with the keyboard.

Option 1: Using the built-in field codes and switches

Go to the Insert tab > Text group, then click Quick Parts. (Word 2003: Insert > Field)
Select Field.
Scroll down the list of Field names and select Eq.
Click Field Codes.
Click Options.
Select the O() switch, then click Add to Field.
In the Field codes: EQ Instructions box, type D,<macron_code> between the parentheses.
The <macron_code> is the key combination you tested earlier to see if it worked — either Alt+0175 on the numeric keypad, or 00af followed by Alt+x. Make sure you also insert the comma between the D and the macron.
Click OK to close the Field Options dialog box.
Click OK again to close the Field dialog box.

Your letter with its macron should look like that below (I have field shading turned on); change the font if you don’t see the macron:

Option 2: Using the built-in field codes and Equation Editor

Go to the Insert tab > Text group, then click Quick Parts. (Word 2003: Insert > Field)
Select Field.
Scroll down the list of Field names and select Eq.
Click Equation Editor.
A text box is added to the document, along with a floating Equation toolbar.
Click the Overbar icon, then the icon for the bar.
Type the letter D in the text box.
Close the Equation toolbar, then click away from the text box.

You should see something like this:

Option 3: Create your own field

Press Ctrl+F9 to insert an empty field.
Type EQ<space>O (D,<macron_code>) between the curly brackets of the field.
Right-click on the field, then select Toggle Field Codes to show the result:

Advantages:

Quick and relatively easy

Disadvantages:

Some fonts, such as Calibri (Body), do not display the macron. If you don’t see the macron over the letter, try changing the font — Arial, Times New Roman (TNR), Courier New all work; however, TNR puts the macron very close to the top of the D, making it hard to read. You’ll need to experiment with fonts.
You need to know how to create a macron using the keyboard.
You should have a basic understanding of field codes and switches.

Method 3: Create a box around the letter showing only the top border

Go to the Insert tab > Text group, then click Quick Parts. (Word 2003: Insert > Field)
Select Field.
Scroll down the list of Field names and select Eq.
Click Field Codes.
Click Options.
Select the X() switch, then click Add to Field.
In the Field codes: EQ Instructions box, type D between the parentheses.
Next, type a space after the X followed by to (for ‘top border’) then another space.
Click OK to close the Field Options dialog box.
Click OK again to close the Field dialog box.

Your letter with its macron should look like that below; change the font if you don’t see the macron:

Advantages:

Quick and relatively easy

Disadvantages:

You end up with a large space after the letter so if it’s to be part of a word, it will look strange
You get a longer line over the letter.
You should have a basic understanding of field codes and switches.

Method 4: Cheat!

Seriously. Sometimes we can overthink stuff, and if it’s a one-off and you’re limited for time, using a workaround may be your best option.

Either create a graphic of what you want using graphics software, or take a screen capture of the full equation then crop it to show just what you want.
Insert the graphic into the document.

Advantages:

Quick and easy if you know how to use graphics and/or screen capture software
Useful if you only have to do a few

Disadvantages:

Can’t be edited easily if you need to change the letter in the graphic — you may have to create a new graphic or screen shot
