Steps
Step 1. Open the document in Word
You can open it by double clicking on the name of the file that you have saved on your PC or Mac.
Alternatively, you can open Word from the Windows menu (if you're using a PC) or from the folder Applications (if you are using a Mac), then click on the menu File, click on You open and finally select the document.
Step 2. Select the text you want to underline
To select it, click in front of the first word of the text. While holding down the mouse button, drag the cursor to the end of the text. Finally, take your finger off the button.
Step 3. Click on the small arrow next to the S button
A list of underlines will appear.
