About This Feature
Overview
Underline is a basic text-formatting feature in WPS Office for iOS. It helps highlight key content, emphasize important wording, and support common document formatting needs. After selecting text, you can open Tools and go to the Home tab to add an underline. Tap the same button again to remove it.
Core tasks include:
- Add an underline to selected text for emphasis.
- Remove an existing underline by tapping the same control again.
- Keep underline formatting active while typing continuously so new text follows the same style.

| Capability Summary | On iOS, you can add or remove underlines for selected text through Tools → Home → Underline, and newly typed text keeps the current underline state. | Word lets users underline text from Home → Underline or with Ctrl+U, and it also supports changing underline style and color. | Google Docs supports underlining through shortcuts and text-formatting controls in Docs. | Notion supports underlining selected text with cmd/ctrl + U in its editing experience. | Acrobat supports text formatting while editing PDF text, but its workflow is centered on PDF editing rather than general word processing. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: The underline entry is direct in the mobile editing path. Distinct: The same button is used to add or remove underlines, which helps with quick formatting changes on iOS. | Compared with WPS: Word offers more underline style controls, but its official guidance here focuses on the desktop-style Home tab workflow and keyboard shortcuts. | Compared with WPS: Google Docs emphasizes shortcut-based and desktop web formatting paths, while WPS presents a direct in-app mobile editing path. | Compared with WPS: Notion supports underline formatting, but its editing model is centered more on page and block content than traditional document layout controls. | Compared with WPS: Acrobat can format text in PDFs, but the feature is tied to PDF editing scenarios instead of standard document writing workflows. |
