E d i t i n g an Un d e r l i n e
In the Preview mode of the Metrics Window you can view and edit the
position of the underline that appears in a text editing application when
the underline style is chosen. The position and thickness of an underline
are considered a font parameter and are part of the font’s design.
To view an underline in the Metrics Window Preview mode, switch on the
Show Underline check box located in the property area. Be sure that the
properties area is in compact mode (so the properties line is visible):
You will see the underline appear in the editing area and the underline
controls in the property area of the Metrics Window:
The left control is used to edit an underline’s position and the right control
the underline’s thickness. If you change values in the control boxes you will
see the underline’s position and/or thickness modified.
