| Docs isn't underlining spaces between words | JobiWan144 | 3/8/12 8:09 PM | I'm using Chrome 17 on Windows XP SP3. Somehow underlining isn't working in Documents. When I underline multiple, adjacent words, I've noticed recently that the words themselves will appear underlined, but the spaces in between them don't appear und |

| Re: Docs isn't underlining spaces between words | JobiWan144 | 3/8/12 10:14 PM | Wow, really? When I saw this in my email, I thought it must be a user mocking Google and hoped it wasn't an actual Googler. It made my year when you guys added REAL page number support in headers/footers. But that was a missing feature, and this i |
| Re: Docs isn't underlining spaces between words | DennisKiker | 6/21/12 8:14 AM | This is a big issue in my mind. I create a lot of forms for legal purposes, and often need to have underlined sections. Inserting a horizontal line doesn't work within a paragraph. This might just force me back to Microsoft, and I'd hate that. |

| Re: Docs isn't underlining spaces between words | athos.liu | 7/28/12 8:08 AM | to be precise... underline of a space sometimes works, sometimes not. i bet such random behavior is a sign that some fundamental algorithm design is wrong. |

On the scale of things erratic underlining is not quite the worst problem either; problems with file management are more se |
| Re: Docs isn't underlining spaces between words | Rryk | 1/14/13 9:50 AM | Thanks for the answer. Indeed it is not as easy at it seems. I've tried mangling HTML with Developer Console. First of all I've realized that you are using <span> for adding variable-length spaces to make text justified which are not underlined becau |
| Re: Docs isn't underlining spaces between words | le did | 1/27/13 1:25 PM | Just a joke! So, why Microsoft can and Google cannot??? I was a fan of the idea of Google docs until I really started to use it, and EVERY single day I am looking for on the forums and finding out that the feature is not available, or Google is worki |
| Re: Docs isn't underlining spaces between words | anonyyyym | 4/1/13 5:51 AM | Use alt+255 instead of space ;) |
| Re: Docs isn't underlining spaces between words | Bas Braams | 4/1/13 7:10 AM | <<Use alt+255 instead of space>> The so-called non-breaking space character. Indeed, it gets underlined even when justify mode is in effect. It has the unfortunate side effect of prohibiting a line break, so it can't very well be used to underline a |
