The effect of the bold, underline, italics, superscript and subscript codes are displayed on the screen. The other codes are displayed as highlighted numbers. The effect of these codes when printing the document will depend on the facilities of the printer driver being used.
Insert the appropriate highlight codes each side of the text to be highlighted.
For example, to underline a word:
Menu | Command | Tool | Key | Cmd-sequence |
---|---|---|---|---|
Underline | ![]() |
PU |
To put a word in bold:
Give the Bold command at the start and end of the word:
Menu | Command | Tool | Key | Cmd-sequence |
---|---|---|---|---|
Bold | ![]() |
Ctrl-B | PB |
In the case of bold and underlined text, the effect will be displayed on the screen when you move the caret off the cell. Note that highlights are automatically cancelled at the end of a cell.
