Word 2003 - Underlining spaces

[Guest]

How do I underline spaces?

 

[Tony Jollans]

Change the underline style under Format > Font.

Unless you want trailing spaces underlined in which case there's an option
under Tools > Option > Compatibility (Draw underline on trailing spaces).

If you mean you want to underline text & have the spaces between words &
sentences underlined as well, select the text, go to Format>Font & choose the
underline style of your choice (something other than (none) or Words Only)
from the list in the middle of the dialog box.

As the others have suggested, the default underline (as opposed to Words
Only underline) does underline spaces, but I suspect you want to underline
trailing spaces. There are two ways to do this.

1. There's an option to underline trailing spaces on the Compatibility tab
of Tools | Options.

2. If the last of the spaces to be underlined is a nonbreaking space
(Ctrl+Shift+Spacebar), the spaces will be underlined.

There are several other (and perhaps better) ways to create lines in
documents; see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/LinesInForms.htm
