In mamy of my documents, when I try to underline a single word of
phrase,the whole text gets underlined until I select the step back
icon whereupon the rest of the document looses it's underlining but
the underlining I want remains.  Why does this happen and how can I
stop it?

Problem solved (after more than a year of no-one being able to explain
it)  Thank goodness I seldom find myself using MS Word but am lucky
enough to be able to do all my massive amout of wordsprocessing using
a brand new Intel ARM chip RISCOS computer networked with Virtual
Acorn running on my Wintel laptop and desktop computer. - One of the
best kept secrets in the world. (For the results see the first 1% of
my webpage on www.fawdry.info)

Thanks so much for your prompt help.
