    You have to set the text field's "Options" for "Allow Rich Text Formatting" through the "Text Fields Properties" pop-up. Once the field's properties is properly set, you can highlight the text in the field and right mouse click to set the properties of the highlighted text.

      • Create a text field
      • Access the field's properties (highlight right mouse click select "Properties")
      • Goto the "Options" tag
      • Select the "Allow Rich Text formatting"
      • Exit "Properties"
      • Exit edit the form

      If you are using an existing form, the form field needs to be configured to allow the rich text format.

      If the form field is properly formatted

      • User your mouse to select the text in the form field
      • Right mouse click
      • Select the "Text Style" from the pop up context menu
      • Select underline

      Or

      • Select text in the form field
      • Use the "<Ctrl> + U" key combination
