Underlining in Word

A

This is driving me crazy. When I am inserting underlined text (I position my
cursor in front of the character where I want to insert, turn underlining on,
then type my new underlined text), when I turn off underlining, it deletes
the underlining I just put in! How do I stop it from doing that? This seems
to be a problem if I start typing next to a character. If I start next to a
space or a punctuation mark, it seems to work correctly, i.e. the underlining
stays.

On the Edit tab of Tools | Options, clear "When selecting automatically
select entire word" and see if that helps. But I have it turned off and
still experience something similar fairly often (though more in FrontPage
than Word, I think).

Or you could type your text, go back and select the parts to
underline, and then Ctrl-U or use the U button.
