[Steve]

I have accounting clients who are resorting to manually drawing a double
underline under certain numbers in their charts in ppt. And I can't find
the "double-underline" button anywhere! Can it be done?

The good you haven't missed anything obvious. Or even anything
utterly hidden and counterintuitive.

The bad Manually. That's the only way to do it in PPT.

But you could do the charts/tables in Excel, if possible, and Paste Link
them to PPT.
Excel allows double underlines.

Hello Steve,

PowerPoint does not have the specific capability that you are looking for,

If you (or anyone else reading this message) think that PowerPoint should
provide additional font formatting capabilities (strike-through, double
underline, etc.), don't forget to send your feedback (in YOUR OWN WORDS,
please) to Microsoft at:

As with all product suggestions, it's important that you not just state
your wish but also WHY it is important to you that your product suggestion
be implemented by Microsoft. Microsoft receives thousands of product
suggestions every day and we read each one but, in any given product
development cycle, there are only sufficient resources to address the ones
that are most important to our customers so take the extra time to state
your case as clearly and completely as possible.

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions)
