MS Word, like any text editor, has a large set of fonts in its arsenal. In addition, the standard set, if necessary, can always be expanded using third-party fonts. All of them differ visually, but in the very Word there are means to change the appearance of the text.
Lesson: How to add fonts in Word
In addition to the standard species, the font can be bold, italics and underlined. Just about the latter, namely, how in the Word, to emphasize the word, words or fragment of the text we will tell in this article.
Lesson: How to change the font in Word
Standard underline text
If you carefully look at the tools located in the "Font" group (Main tab), probably notice three letters there, each of which is responsible for the specific type of writing text.
J. - fat (bold);
To - italics;
H - underlined.
All these letters on the control panel are presented in the form in which the text will be written if you use them.
To emphasize already written text, highlight it, and then press the letter C. in a group "Font" . If the text is not yet written, press this button, enter the text, and then disconnect the underscore mode.
- Advice: To emphasize the words or text in the document, you can also use a hot key combination - "Ctrl + U".
Note: Text underscore thus adds the bottom line not only under the words / letters, but also in spaces between them. In the Word, you can also separately emphasize words without spaces or gaps themselves. About how to do it, read below.
Underline only words, without gaps between them
If you need to emphasize only words in the text document, leaving empty gaps between them, follow these steps:
1. Highlight the text fragment in which it is necessary to remove underscore in spaces.
2. Expand the group dialog box "Font" (tab "Home" ) by clicking on the arrow in its right lower corner.
3. In the section "Underline" Set the parameter "Only words" and press "OK".

Underscore gaps between words
The easiest way to make an underscore only in spaces - this is pressing the "lower underscore" key (the last butter key in the upper digital row, it is also a hyphen on it) with a preload button "SHIFT".
Note: In this case, the lower underscore is put instead of a space and will be on the same level with the lower edge of the letters, and not under them, as a standard underscore.
However, it is worth noting that this method has one important disadvantage - the complexity of aligning the emphasis lines in some cases. One of the explicit examples is the creation of forms to fill. In addition, if you in MS Word activated an auto-format parameter for the author of the staling signs on the border line, pressing three and / or more times "SHIFT + - (Defis)" As a result, you will receive a line equal to the width of paragraph, which is extremely undesirable in most cases.
