FAQ

Can other collaborators see underline formatting added in collaboration mode?

  1. Yes. Formatting changes in collaboration mode can be synced to online collaborators.
  2. Make sure both sides are connected to the internet and are working in the same shared spreadsheet.
  3. If the change does not appear immediately, ask the other user to refresh the view or reselect the cell.

What should I do if the Underline button is grayed out?

  1. Confirm that you have selected an editable cell or text.
  2. Check whether another collaborator is editing the same cell, which can temporarily prevent formatting changes.
  3. Wait until that editing state ends, then try the Underline button again.

Why does Ctrl+U not work?

  1. Make sure the focus is inside the WPS spreadsheet editing area instead of another app window.
  2. Select the target cell or text first, then press Ctrl+U.
  3. If the shortcut is occupied by the system or another app, use the Underline button on the Home tab instead.

How do I change a double underline back to a single underline or remove it?

  1. Select the target cell range.
  2. Right-click and open Format Cells.
  3. In the underline style setting, switch to single underline or choose None to clear it.
