Capability Summary	In WPS Writer on macOS, you can add, remove, or adjust underline formatting from the Home tab, the Text Properties panel, the floating toolbar, and a keyboard shortcut.	Microsoft Word officially supports underlining text or blank spaces, and it also provides underline style and color options in the Font dialog box.

Notion officially supports underline formatting and documents Cmd/Ctrl + U for underlining selected text.
