RE: [sqr-users] Underlining a portion of paragraph

["Bryson, Steven" <Steve.Bryson@phh.com>]

This was originally what I was going to do, however, the entire paragraph is
dynamic and the underline portion could potentially span two rows. I am also
using a proportional font.  I have looked through some of the archives and
checked some other resources.  This was just kind of a last effort.

Thank you for your response.

Hi Steve,

This is easy if you are using a monospace font.  You can use separate 
print statements, and use a print location of (,+1) (same line, one column 
to the right) to add the underlined text at the proper location.

For your example:

Print 'Therefore,'            (+1,10)
Print 'you must take one'       (,+1) underline
Print 'of the following actions to avoid further consequences.' (,+1)

If you are using a non-monospace font, it becomes much more difficult to 
properly place the text for the separate print statements.  You can scan 
the archives for discussions on how to do this.

Hope this helps,
Don
