double-underlining

[Steve]

I cannot seem to find a way to create a double-underline, such as is used in
financial statements. Am I missing something here? How can I create a
double-underline, without resorting to drawing it?

Thanks!

Unfortunately, you can't.

In the immortal words of John Langhans [MSFT]

"Also, if you (or anyone else reading this message) have some suggestions
for how PowerPoint might improve it's implementation and control of
automatic and intelligence capabilities, don't forget to send your feedback

It's VERY important that, for EACH wish, you describe in detail, WHY it is
important TO YOU that your product suggestion be implemented. A good wish
submission includes WHAT scenario, work-flow, or end-result is blocked by
not having a specific feature, HOW MUCH time and effort ($$$) is spent
working around a specific limitation of the current product, etc. Remember
that 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 so that we can FEEL YOUR PAIN.

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

All I know is, when I see a presentation created by the chief financial
officer of an accounting firm, and see that he has had to draw in the double
underlining on his budget charts with extra lines, all I can think is, "that
just ain't right".

You're not going to get an argument from me on this one. I'm in total agreement.

Enter the information you want in MS Excel, including the "double-underling"
and then "Copy > Paste Special" into your PPT.

IMPORTANT NOTE: When you paste it into PPT use the EDIT > PASTE SPECIAL
feature (after clicking on PASTE SPECIAL, select Microsoft Excel Worksheet).
If you do a regular copy/paste it will NOT work.

NOTE: When I did the COPY from MS Excel I had to include the row that was
"below" the "double-underline".

By the way, I did this using PPT2003. I am not sure if this will work in
previous versions of PPT.

Good Luck!
