Excel officially supports underlining all or selected cell contents and offers different underline styles in worksheet formatting.	Google Sheets officially supports underline formatting with the Ctrl+U shortcut in spreadsheets.	Notion officially supports underline formatting for page text with Ctrl/Cmd+U, but it is not a spreadsheet cell-formatting workflow.	Acrobat officially provides text formatting in PDFs, but it is designed for PDF editing rather than spreadsheet cell formatting.

Compared with WPS: Google Sheets supports underline shortcuts, while the cited help page gives less detail about multiple underline styles.	Compared with WPS: Notion underline is aimed at document text, not spreadsheet cells.	Compared with WPS: Acrobat focuses on PDF text editing instead of spreadsheet formatting tasks.
