Apply underline or strikethrough
The default weight of an underline and strikethrough
depends on the size of the type.
Apply underline or strikethrough- Select
text.
- Choose Underline or Strikethrough in the Character panel
menu or the Control panel.
Change underline or strikethrough optionsCreating custom underlining
is especially useful when you want to create an even underline below
characters of different sizes, or for creating special effects, such
as background highlighting.
 Before and after adjusting underlines
- From the Character panel menu or the Control panel
menu, choose Underline Options or Strikethrough Options.
- Do any of the following, and then click OK:
Select Underline On or Strikethrough On
to turn on underline or strikethrough for the current text.
For Weight, choose a weight or type a value to determine
the thickness of the underline or strikethrough line.
For Type, select one of the underline or strikethrough
options.
For Offset, determine the vertical position of the
line. The offset is measured from the baseline. Negative values
move the underline above the baseline and the strikethrough below
the baseline.
Select Overprint Stroke when you want to make sure
that the stroke doesn’t knock out underlying inks on a printing
press.
Choose a color and tint. If you specified any line
type other than solid, choose a gap color or gap tint to change
the appearance of the area between dashes, dots, or lines.
Select Overprint Stroke or Overprint Gap if the
underline or strikethrough will be printed over another color, and
you want to avoid errors that can occur with printing misregistration.
 To change the underline or strikethrough
options in a paragraph or character style, use the Underline Options
or Strikethrough Options section of the dialog box that appears
when you create or edit the style.
