Underlining Text in Cells

Summary: Want a quick way to add some underlines to your cell values? It's easy using the tools on the Home tab of the ribbon.

Everyone knows that you can underline text by simply selecting what you want underlined and then clicking on the Underline tool on the ribbon or toolbar. This adds a single underline. If you want a double underline, click the down-arrow at the right of the Underline tool and select Double Underline.

If you want any fancier underlines, you must display the Font tab of the Format Cells dialog box. (Display the Home tab of the ribbon and click the small icon at the bottom-right of the Font group.)
