Key combination: Underline - this is how it becomes efficient

Both in Office programs such as Excel and Word as well as in e-mails and other writing programs, certain text passages can be easily highlighted using certain means. In order to not always have to use the mouse, there are special shortcuts that make text writing even more efficient.

How to use the key combination for underlining

In Word and Co. you have the possibility to bold, italicize or also underline single parts of your text via a special tab. To make this even easier, key combinations, so-called shortcuts, can also be used in each case. You can use these quickly and easily while writing and thus work even more efficiently.

• Normally, you select the desired text section and click, for example, in Word, at the top of the bar on the "U".
• If you want to have this done faster under Windows, however, then you should remember the shortcut "Ctrl" + "Shift" + "U". You apply this after you have selected the desired part of your text. Hold down the three keys on your keyboard for a short moment at the same time and your text is underlined.
• Also the even more concise version of "Ctrl" and "U" works perfectly for underlining. You can also use this under the operating system "Linux".
• On a Mac, however, use the shortcut "Command" + "U" to underline a text passage. Also this underlines you in the shortest time the text area marked by you before.
