Underline / underscore

Is it possible to underline/underscore text in InDesign?
I see the options (of course) in the text drop-down (regular, etc.) but I don't see an underline option.
Than you, and pardon the potentially obvious question.

The text dropdown that shows "regular etc." is for font styles (and other than, for example, Word, it only shows font styles that are actually installed on your system).
Take a look at this composite image: 3 ways to apply Underline.
Top right: in the Control bar, with the character formatting options selected (that's the little 'A' icon at the far left).
Center bottom: in the Character panel flyout menu.
Center right (well, not actually visible): using the default short Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + U.

Problem with Funktion "Combine Files into PDF" on Samba Fileshares

Hi!
When i try to combine Files from a Sambashare witch is connected as V: (\\Server\all_x) then i can choose the Files from the location but when i klick "Combine Files" after a while the ErrorMessage "Cannot open U:\_x\test.doc" Check if you have permission.
Why suddenly Adobe Acrobat will read the File form U: instead of V: ?
The Path before "Underline" (Underscore) was removed : "all_x" -> "_x"
When i renamed the Sambshare to allx without "_" everything is ok.
I can simulate this failure on every Windows XP Workstation. (SP3+all Updates)
Adobe Acrobat X 10.0.0
Samba 3.0.28-0.el4.9
Is this an issue in samba or in Adobe Acrobat?
Update:
This only happens when an other fileshare exists with same name at the beginning.
example:
U: -> \\servername\alle
V: -> \\servername\allev or alle_v (he underscore has no relevance....)
when v: is \\servrname\examplepdf or any other name exept "alle" at the beginning everything is ok.
very strange...
greetings

Have you checked the preferences in Acrobat to see if they have gotten changed?

Converting Word Form & Textfields

Hi,
I am using Acorbat Pro 9 and try to convert an existing Microsoft Word form to pdf. The word file contains text, checkboxes and text input fields.
The checkboxes are converted correctly and the plain text, too.
But the text input boxes are missing after conversion?
Is there an option to include them? The word file is perfectly designed and adding all the fields again is rather much work.
What I do not understand is, that check boxes are converted correctly but text fields are not?
Thanks for your help,
Christian

It's separate program which bundles with Acrobat Pro and above.
Be aware that
- For Designer import to work correctly, the fields in word document should be real fields and not underlines/underscores.
- Designer created different kind of forms from what Acrobat does. Both generate forms but with different technologies. So depending on what you do next with the form, you might have to do more work.

How can I remove the underline from added text for tracing edits

We have a lot of content that includes underscores and when we use the track text edit feature added text is green and underlined. How can I change the properties of the added text to not be underlined?

Starting with FM11, you could specify a custom colour to be used for track changes, but the styles (underline, strikethrough) are still hardwired.
Even if you try to make the changes to the rack text edit conditions in a MIF file, they will get overwritten as the MIF is interpreted when opened by FM.

Trying to underline the rectangle of a Text Field

I am trying to underline the rectangle of a Text Field with a Line Annotation, but I am a little confused.
The first doubt is about the "Square" vs, the "Rectangle" annotations. What is the difference between them? Has Adobe changed those recently?
I have tried several variations of the following snippet:
    var x1 = textField.rect[0];
    var y1 = textField.rect[1];
    var x2 = textField.rect[2];
    var y2 = textField.rect[3];
    var underscore = this.addAnnot({
        page: 0,
        type: "Line",
        rect: [x1, y1, x2, y1],
        strokeColor: color.red,
        strokeWidth: 160
What I am getting is an identity line (i.e., 45-degree) at the lower left corner.
-Ramon

Thanks for your reply, try67:
Could you -or anybody else- please clarify this:
"The square rect defines top-left-x, top-left-y, bottom-left-x and bottom-left-y.
For a line it's left-x, left-y, right-x, right-y."
According to such definition, the square rect does not contain any information about the right side?
Maybe what you meant to write is:
"The square rect defines:
top-left-x, top-left-y, bottom-right-x and bottom-right-y.
For a line it is
left-x, left-y, right-x, right-y."
If that's the case, a rect of zero height is the same thing as a horizontal line. That was my assumption, but I am getting a 45-degree line through the origin.
TIA,
-Ramon

Where is the underscore for ipad mini to field email

You can underline in the body of the letter but not the on the to line.

Underlined Space Characters and Justifying to the Right

Basically putting together an invoice which have a few fillable form sections that need to be justified to the right. Using the underscore key runs the risk of looking broken unless I want to play with the kerning. I considered using the line tool, but you can not align it to the base of the text as you could with point-based text in Illustrator.
I decided to add "space" characters with the underline effect activated. This works fine with anything justified to the left, but when justifying to the right, the text would shift but the "space" characters would just be clipped. Any solutions?
Running CC v9.1 x64

Thinking about it now. Due to the immense accuracy of bounding boxes, columns, and paragraph controls, I have always overlooked the tab functions. The ability to gear spacing to specific punctuation alone is an invitation to experiment.
Once I found the option to reveal hidden characters, it made understanding tabs much easier. This control over text flow is most definitely good gravy.

Email: Making typed-in URLs show w/underline and blue

Whenever composing an email message, I often type in a full URL, including the 'http://' prefix, but I find that after I hit the 'spacebar' or 'return' key, the URL only shows as plain text. How do I make it appear as a bone fide URL with the underscore and the blue color?
Jeremy

The answer is: You don't! It is added automatically and the recipient will get a +clickable, blue underlined+ URL. You can verify this by looking into Sent after you sent the email.

Android application IDs
if the ID is not a legal package name on the Android operating system, it is converted to a legal name. Hyphen characters are changed to underscores and leading digits in any ID component are preceded by a capital “A”. For example, the ID: 3-goats.1-boat, is transformed to the package name: air.A3_goats.A1_boat.
so I dont know why underscore is illegal,and my app at googleplay has an underscore ID indeed, not dash, I am sure.
this really bother me,cant update any app with an underscroe ID
because I have to update app to support android 4.x ...
ps. 3.4 even 3.2 also not working,@@ dont know how I did it before...

Why is AS3 underlining certain fonts but not others (all of which are pretty common)?

Hello everyone!
     I have a simple question that hopefully has a simple answer (which mocks me with its elusiveness). In the code below (taken from Gary Rosenzweig's "ActionScript 3.0 Game Programming University" (2nd ed.)), I am declaring a simple style sheet using all AS3 supported tags/attributes to underline an HTML link. My question is this: why won't AS3 underline the chosen font (Arial) but yet it will underline certain other fonts that I substitute it for (such as "Times New Roman" and "Garamond")?
// create a basic format
var myFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
myFormat.font = "Arial";
myFormat.size = 24;
myFormat.bold = true;
var myStyleSheet:StyleSheet = new StyleSheet();
myStyleSheet.setStyle("A",{textDecoration: "underline", color: "#0000FF"});
// create a text field with a Web URL link
var myWebLink:TextField = new TextField();
myWebLink.defaultTextFormat = myFormat;
myWebLink.styleSheet = myStyleSheet;
myWebLink.selectable = false;
myWebLink.htmlText = "Visit <A HREF='http://flashgameu.com'>FlashGameU.com</A>!";
myWebLink.x = 80;
myWebLink.y = 90;
myWebLink.width = 400;
myWebLink.height = 30;
addChild(myWebLink);
var myLink:TextField = new TextField();
myLink.defaultTextFormat = myFormat;
myLink.styleSheet = myStyleSheet;
myLink.selectable = false;
myLink.htmlText = "Click <A HREF='event:testing'>here</A>";
myLink.x = 80;
myLink.y = 190;
myLink.width = 400;
myLink.height = 30;
addChild(myLink);
addEventListener(TextEvent.LINK, textLinkClick);
function textLinkClick(event:TextEvent) {
trace(event.text);

Mr. Murphy,
     You see what I mean? I knew it would be a simple answer - it had to be, right? That way when someone helped me figure it out, I would get the pleasure of kicking myself for not having seen it before. I tried temporarily disabling the default text (thinking maybe it was somehow interfering with the style sheet), ensuring that I had the fonts that I was trying to use embedded in my program, including all the formatting in the actual style sheet rather than some of it resting in the default text statement, and did a couple other things that now escape my memory. What I didn't do was change the font size to see if it was simply cutting off the underscore. Sure I thought about it, but didn't actually follow it up.
     What makes this worse is that, in the book I referenced, the author doesn't say anything about having to change the font size for this particular application and goes further by demonstrating via inline image his "perfect" outputted result using the exact code that I did. I know this threw off other readers as well who tried to emulate his result only to find that the underline magically "disappeared" when they did it.
     Thanks for the help! As always, I appreciate it.

Insert Menu Item with underscore

When I insert menu items that have underscores it underlines the previous letter rather than showing underscore. How do I fix this problem?

Are you trying to get a menu item to be selected by an Alt key combination? Placing an underscore "_", before any letter in the Item Name will cause an underscore to appear under the subsequent letter (not previous) and allow Alt + the underscored letter to active that menu item. For example, J_unk will appear as Junk with an underscore under u and ALT + u will activate the Junk menu.

SO10 continous underline

Hi All,
I need your help urgently. Currently I'm facing a problem with break lines between texts for example below. In print preview it shows correctly but in printout it shows a blank space between the texts and it only underlined the text.

I want it to be in one straight line as below

I'm using HELVE as a font type. In this forum there is some suggestion to use underscore or &uline&.
Could you pls suggest the best way to overcome this problem.

Then use that paragraph format to the standard text.
In the smartform
GOto the text which uses the standard text
Goto "General attributes --->paragraph format -
> put that paragraph format inthe standard text
Reward if useful.
(I have done that it will definitely work)
Thanks

In Pages 5, Maverick, How do I stop automatic conversation of URLs to hyperlinks and seeing them underlined

There used to be a preference setting in Pages. Now it seems gone in Pages 5. So how do I stop automatic conversation of URLs to hyperlinks and seeing them underlined in text. Sometimes I want it, but not always.

The preference setting to turn off links is gone. When you enter content that triggers link detection, a link character style gets applied. Right-click on the link, choose Edit Link from the menu, and then Remove.
To prevent Pages from automatically detecting links, visit Edit > Substitutions > and deselect Smart Links.

Something was hidden in a download and now these double green underlined hyperlinks show up everywhere, and pop ups too whenever I click on ANYTHING. I can't figure out how to find it and get rid of it.

You installed the "DownLite" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.

You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the DownLite developer has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight is inexcusable and has compromised the value of Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.

Can I take out the underlines in photo gallery?

Can I take out the underlines in photo gallery? I mean the underlines for "Back to Album", "Previous" and "Next". I understand they are functional but I just don't think they look great with the whole composition. Thank you!

This might work:
Create a dummy hyperlink on that page and set the color, rollover color and underline options that you want on those links. Click a couple of times on the *Use for New Links on Page* button. Delete the dummy hyperlink and republish. That should change the links you mentioned.
