SUMMARY
Microsoft Excel versions 1.50 and earlier mark unlocked cells with a dotted underline when a protected document is printed. Excel 2.20, by design, does not print unlocked cells of a protected document with an underline.

To obtain a similar effect with Excel 2.20 and 3.00, apply a bottom border to the cells using the following steps (the document must be unprotected to perform this operation):


 * 1) Select the cells to be underlined.
 * 2) Select Border from the Format menu.
 * 3) Select Bottom.
 * 4) Click OK.
