Underlining spaces in Word 2003

[Dave B]

How can I underline spaces (such as between words):

The same way you underline anything else. Highlight the space and underline
it.

Well, that's kind of embarrassing. On a brighter note, I should get an
award for the record number of other ways I tried to do it that didn't work.

Hangs head in shame.

Thx

Hey, all of us have missed what should have been obvious at some time in our
lives. Some people admit it, other don't. We're just human!

(I have to admit I'm curious what other methods you tried. I can only think
of one way that wouldn't have worked.)

Just to clarify this, Ctrl+U will underline across words and spaces that are
selected: Ctrl+W underlines Words only. There's a whole plethora of other
underline variations in the Format, Font dialog. If you want to underline a
long stretch of spaces, the final space MUST be a non-breaking space
(Ctrl+Shift+Space).

I've just spotted this thread so, with apologies, I haven't seen what's gone
before.

You can get an underline by placing a tab at the point at which you want an
underline to start and or stop and then formatting the tab(s) (option 4).

Terry,

You mean that in Word 2003, Ctrl+W is no longer DocClose? That's quite
a major change. What is MS trying to do, make everyone go crazy?

Ctrl+W is still DocClose. Ctrl+Shift+W is Word Underline.

My error: as Suzanne says it is ctrl+SHIFT+W.
