Enhancing Your Printing

Overlining, strike-through, and underlining

The overline, strike-through, and underline modes are useful for highlighting selected text. This feature can be used to score text, spaces, subscripts, and superscripts without a break. You can choose from a variety of line styles including: single, double, broken, or continuous. Many word processors may not be able to take advantage of all these features. If this is the case, see the ESC ( - command in Chapter 9 for more information.
