About This Feature
Overview
Underline is a built-in text-formatting feature in WPS Sheets on Android. It lets you add an underline to selected cell content so you can highlight key information, emphasize important entries, or follow a specific formatting style in a spreadsheet.
Core capabilities include:
- Add an underline to text in a selected cell or cell range.
- Tap the same underline button again to remove the formatting.

| Capability Summary | Lets you select a cell or range in WPS Sheets on Android and apply or remove underline formatting from text through Tools → Home → Underline. | Word lets users underline text from Home > Underline or with Ctrl+U, and also supports different underline styles. | Google Docs lets users underline selected text from the toolbar or the Format menu. | Notion lets users underline selected text with cmd/ctrl+U in page editing. | Acrobat provides text formatting tools for editable PDF text in its PDF editing workflow. |

Overall Conclusion
For spreadsheet editing on Android, WPS Underline fits quick cell-text emphasis well because the command is placed directly in the mobile editing path. Other products also support underline or text-formatting features, but their official guidance is aimed more at document editing, page content, or PDF text workflows.
