= SUMMARY =

When using the underline feature in Microsoft Word, spaces cannot be underlined when they are the last characters in a line or paragraph. However, the following are two methods to work around this behavior.

Method 1

 * 1) Place one or more characters after the spaces to be underlined. You can use any character except a paragraph mark because Word does not recognize paragraph marks as characters.
 * 2) Select the spaces to be underlined, excluding the character or characters that you placed after them.
 * 3) From the Format menu, choose Underline (COMMAND+SHIFT+U). This will underline the spaces.

Method 2
“Hard spaces” can also be used. These spaces can be underlined without using extra characters. To create a hard space, press OPTION+SPACEBAR.

For more information about underlining, see page 20 of the “Reference to Microsoft Word” manual.
