Underline or strike through text

You can place a line under horizontal type, or to the left or right of vertical type. You can also place a line through horizontal or vertical type. The line is always the same color as the type color.

Select the type you want to underline or strike through.

To underline horizontal type, click the Underline button in the Character panel.
To apply an underline to the left or right of vertical type, choose Underline Left or Underline Right from the Character panel menu. You can apply an underline to the left or right, but not to both sides. A check mark indicates that an option is selected.

Note: The Underline Left and Underline Right options appear in the Character panel menu only when a type layer containing vertical type is selected. When working with vertical Asian type, you can add an underline on either side of the type line.
To apply a horizontal line through horizontal type or a vertical line through vertical type, click the Strikethrough button in the Character panel. You can also choose Strikethrough from the Character panel menu.
