    It depends on how your software is designed to work. On older word processors, you had to key a special character to make things like "bold" "italics" "superscript" "underline" occur. You also had to key them for paragraph marks, tabs, indents, etc.

    It worked sorta like HTML...

    You'd type then bBOLDb and the letters BOLD would be bold... get the idea?

    It was quite tedious, when you look back, but still a massive improvement over the IBM select typewriter, carbon paper, and correction film... gah!

    Most likely now you highlight the words you wish underlined then execute the menu command to cause the underline. Most likely ctrl-U or if you're using a Mac, command-U.
