= SUMMARY =

When you underline the contents of a cell in a version 2.0 Works Spreadsheet module, the length of the underline will vary depending on the contents of the cell.

If the cell contains a number or formula, the underline will span the entire width of the cell. But, if the cell contains text or a number entered as text, only the text in the cell will be underlined.

For example, if a cell contains a date or a time (dates and times are displayed in a special format), the entire cell will be underlined. To underline only the time or date, you must enter the time or date as a text string by typing a quotation mark at the beginning of the date:

&quot;7/27/99

CAUTION: When you change a time or date to a text string, the time/date format is no longer applicable and you can no longer manipulate the time or date as a number.

Note: Works 3.0 underlines only information in the cell.
