Adding a strikethrough or underline to text

You can easily add a single or double underline or strikethrough to text, and apply a color to it that’s different from the text color.

Underlining text does not turn the text into a clickable hyperlink.

To add an underline:

  1. Select the text you want to underline (by selecting a text box or dragging to select specific words), or click in a text box where you want to type new text.

  2. Click the Fonts button in the toolbar at the bottom of the iWeb window.

  3. Image of Fonts button.
  4. Click the Text Underline button, and then choose Single or Double from the pop-up menu.

  5. Image of underline text buttons in Font panel

    Note:iWeb converts text with a double underline or strikethrough to a graphic to ensure that the text looks identical on different computers and web browsers. (The graphic looks like text, but the text can’t be selected like standard text can.) See Related Topics below for more information.

  6. To make the underline a different color from the text, click the Text Underline button again and choose Color from the pop-up menu. Then choose a color from the Colors window.

  7. To remove an underline, select the text, and choose None from the Text Underline pop-up menu.

To add a strikethrough:

  1. Follow steps 1 and 2 above, selecting the text to which you want to add a strikethough.

  2. Click the Text Strikethrough button, and then choose Single or Double from the pop-up menu.

  4. To make the strikethrough a different color from the text, click the Text Strikethrough button again and choose Color from the pop-up menu. Then select a color in the Colors window.

To remove a strikethrough, select the text, and choose None from the Text Strikethrough pop-up menu.
