Underlining
Summary: Excel provides several different types of underlines you can use in formatting your data. This tip describes how you can produce two different types of underlines by using the Underline tool. (This tip works with Microsoft Excel 97, Excel 2000, Excel 2002, and Excel 2003.)
Everyone knows that you can underline text by simply selecting what you want underlined and then clicking on the underline tool on the toolbar. This adds a single underline. If you want a double underline, you can add one quickly by simply holding down the Shift key as you click on the underline tool. The double underline is added to your selected text.
If you want any fancier underlines, you must choose Cells from the Format menu and then do your work on the Font tab.
