Applying underline and strikethrough

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

To apply an underline or strikethrough:

1. Select the type you want to underline or strikethrough.
2. Choose an option:
• Click the Underline button  in the Character palette to apply an underline beneath horizontal type.
• Choose Underline Left or Underline Right from the Character palette menu to apply an underline to the left or right of vertical type. 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 palette menu only when a type layer containing vertical type is selected.

• Click the Strikethrough button  in the Character palette to apply a horizontal line through horizontal type or a vertical line through vertical type. Alternately, choose Strikethrough from the Character palette menu.
