UNDERLINING COLUMNS
The columns of numbers may be underlined, using the underline (underscore)
command on the Format (Nondisplay) Menu.
The underline command is given by
pressing CTRL de 5
+
S.
The underline command is a start/stop command, so you'll need to give the command
before you type the number and again at the end of the number. If you're underlining
several columns of numbers, you can give the underline command before typing the
first column, then type all of the columns before giving the stop underlining
command.
The underline command will only underline printing characters. It will not underline
the spaces between the columns.
If you want an underline to be wider than the
number in the column, you'll need to use the underline (shift
+
hyphen) key to type
several underlines in front of the number.
Read the information below to learn about underlining columns. There's a practice
exercise on the next page that will give you a chance to practice doing this.

CENTERING HEADINGS OVER COLUMNS
When you need to center headings over columns, you'll need to type the columns first
and then go back and center the headings over them.
To center a heading, you simply space over to the column and type the heading. You
can add or delete spaces in front of the heading until it is centered over the column
on the screen.
