When using WPS Underline on Windows, common questions usually involve sync visibility, button status, and style changes; this FAQ covers 4 frequent questions and answers.
FAQ
Can other collaborators see underline formatting added in collaboration mode?
- Yes. Formatting changes in collaboration mode can be synced to online collaborators.
- Make sure both sides are connected to the internet and are working in the same shared spreadsheet.
- 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?
- Confirm that you have selected an editable cell or text.
- Check whether another collaborator is editing the same cell, which can temporarily prevent formatting changes.
- Wait until that editing state ends, then try the Underline button again.
Why does Ctrl+U not work?
- Make sure the focus is inside the WPS spreadsheet editing area instead of another app window.
- Select the target cell or text first, then press
Ctrl+U. - 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?
- Select the target cell range.
- Right-click and open Format Cells.
- In the underline style setting, switch to single underline or choose None to clear it.
