How to Underline Blank Spaces in a Microsoft Word Document

September 30, 2009

I finally found out how to underline blank spaces in Microsoft Word 2007. It’s been driving me nuts for months and the support site just wasn’t helpful. I did this all the time with my 2003 version. Last resort (which should have been my first stop) was to Google my question and quickly went right to the answer on the Microsoft site. Here’s the secret no one wants you to know ;)

You can underline blank spaces by pressing SHIFT + HYPHEN (-).

That’s it! Earth shattering, I know. I do understand there are other ways, even considered better by Microsoft, but when all I want to do is a few quick, fast space underlines … voila! I was so relieved to find this today.

    OMG THANK YOU! I feel so dumb for not figuring that out on my own. Like, DUH! Thanks again.
