Re: Word automatically making underline to appear bold

I cannot recreate the problem so I wonder if this issue is font dependent
illusion? If I format a paragraph with Calibri font then all the underlines
appear bold at 100% zoom, though at 200% zoom it is clear that the
underlines reflect the bold/normal attribute of the text they are associated
with.

If I format the same paragraph with Times New Roman font then only
underlines associated with bold text appear underlined in bold even at 100%
zoom.

This applies no matter how much or how little of the paragraph is formatted
bold.

Thanks for your quick response, but I'm surprised. No override? Not even
using VBA?

This question was previously posted re Word 2003, but no
appropriate solution
was posted. Hoping someone has a fix!

In Word 2007 I have underlined text in a paragraph. When I bold
more than
half of the text in that paragraph, it automatically bolds the
underline.
If
I bold just a couple of words it does not bold the underline. I
do not want
any bold underlining. Does anyone know how to stop the underlining
from
bolding?

Thanks!
