Microsoft Office developers have greatly simplified the work of office workers when working with documents. Excel, Word, Publisher, Power Point - the main application software applications. But sometimes users have various questions, for example, how to make the underline on the keyboard. We will devote our article to explaining this.

Computer Keyboard: Separate and Arrange Keys

First you need to understand not how to make the underline on the keyboard, but how the buttons are located on it. After all, this is the key to successful resolution of cases.

The keyboard is divided into several blocks, depending on the purpose of the keys. So, the keys are distinguished:

• recruitment;
• management;
• functional;
• displacement;
• digital.

Keep in mind that keyboards can be completely different. Therefore, before performing any actions, you need to make sure that the manipulations are correct so that you do not accidentally press the wrong button.

For the convenience of the reader, various cases of solving the question of how to make the underline on the keyboard will be considered here, since both hot keys and the context menu can help.

Lower dash on a computer keyboard: action algorithm

But you need to figure out what each user understands when talking about underscores. For some, this means emphasizing the text with any type of line. For others, the lineup of the lower dash. In this article, both cases will be considered, both for a laptop and for a computer.

To break the deadlock by deciding how to make underscores on a computer keyboard:

• select a fragment that requires formatting;
• in versions of Word 2007 and higher on the toolbar you should find the “H” button, for which in Word 2003 you need to either find this command on the toolbar (but it will be without an arrow), or go to the main menu “Format” - “Font” and select the line type and its color in the corresponding windows;
• click on the arrow to the right of it;
• choose any type of line.

If you use the hot keys, then for simple underlining it is enough to press CTRL + U. By the way, to call the "Format" menu you can use the combination CTRL + D.

If you need to make empty lines for numerous entries by hand, you should hold SHIFT and in the alphanumeric block of the keyboard find the “-” button. The simultaneous holding of two keys will draw the so-called lower dash.

To position a line anywhere in a document:

• find the drawing panel;
• select a button with a line image;
• set the beginning of the line in the desired place and stretch to a certain length.

And finally, the last way. It is recommended to use the “Border and Fill” menu, called either by the right mouse button, or through the toolbar, or through the main menu. Then do the following:

1. Select the required fragment.
2. Call “Border and fill” in one of the ways.
3. On the “Border” tab, select the type of line you like, thickness, color.
4. In the “Apply to:” window, select one of the options.
5. Click OK.

Underline on a laptop keyboard: action algorithm

In order not to look for information on working with Word (for example, how to make underscore on a laptop keyboard), you do not need to make a big difference between the two types of computers. The action algorithm looks the same. The only slight difference may be in the layout of the control keys. But the image shows that the same SHIFT is in place, so there should not be any special difficulties.

The only thing that can cause problems when resolving the issue of how to make the underline on the keyboard is the lack of a mouse. When using the touch field on a laptop and similar devices, gaps may appear when drawing lines. Therefore, only practice will help to cope with the task.
