I'm trying to double underline a cell in a table in PowerPoint 2007. I can't
find an option to do it, either by drawing it or using the borders tool. Has
this facility been removed?

Thanks in advance

Diane
 
Thank you for your response but I still can't find the double underline,
sorry to be a pain, can you tell me where it is please?

Select the text you want to double underline On the home tab in the font
group click underline at the bottom right of the font group, you will see a
down to the right arrow. click on it and in the underline style, select
double.

Ah, I see what you mean. I was actually wanting to double underline the
cell itself not the contents, can you do this?
 
I don't think this has been removed -- I don't think it ever existed in the
first place. If it did, I sure cannot find it. I cannot see a way to add a
double line as a border to a table in either PPT 2007 or 2003.
 
No there aren't any toolbars in 2007 (except the quick access toolbar)

Thanks for your responses guys

But when you select the table, the Table Tools tabs (Design and Layout) do
become available.
 
If you have a cell with a double underline in Excel and paste it into PowerPoint 2007, you can create the double underline effect.

So, take your table from PowerPoint, paste it into Excel. Add the double underlines as appropriate, then delete the original table in PPTx and paste the new table from Excel.

In 2003 you can use the 'line' tool to draw a line inside the cell.

that toolbar visible at the bottom of the screen in 2007

Diane, I use PowerPoint 2000; to double underline a selected word, I have a macro created! This is the code I use, which can be used to double underline the selected word, and to remove the double underline too; but I have found that if you use it to remove the double underlines after using it to double underline selected words on the powerpoint slide that it will remove the double underlines of all of the words on the slide that you use it to put double underlines underneath! Yet, it works otherwise; perhaps, someone can fix the un-double underlining portion to just un-doubleunderline only the current selected one on the powerpoint slide!

This is the code:

Sub DoubleUnderline()

Dim oRng As TextRange
Dim lLineCount As Long
Dim oLine As Shape
Dim dOffset As Double

dOffset = 2 ' space between underlines in points
' change if you like

With ActiveWindow.Selection.TextRange
For lLineCount = 0.5 To .Lines.Count
Set oRng = .Lines(lLineCount)
With oRng
Set oLine = ActiveWindow.Selection.SlideRange.Shapes.AddLine( _
.BoundLeft, .BoundTop + .BoundHeight, _
.BoundLeft + .BoundWidth, .BoundTop + .BoundHeight)
Call oLine.Tags.Add("Underline", "YES")
With oLine.Duplicate(1)
.Left = oLine.Left
.Top = oLine.Top + dOffset
Call .Tags.Add("Underline", "YES")
End With
End With
Next
End With

End Sub

Sub UnUnderline()
' Removes underlines added by DoubleUndies

Dim oSh As Shape
Dim x As Long

With ActiveWindow.Selection.SlideRange(1)
For x = .Shapes.Count To 1 Step -1
Set oSh = .Shapes(x)
If oSh.Tags("Underline") = "YES" Then
oSh.Delete
End If
Next
End With
End Sub

I found the Macro at this website, and since they will not let me put the website link I will
say I found it at www dot pptfaq dot com backslash FAQ00775 Underscore text Underscore dot htm rightbracket url leftbracket

That site has it for people to freely use it; but,
I did change the dOFFSET = value to 2 though instead of the 4 that is on that websites code shown for doing it!
