Black) Newsgroups: comp.unix.questions Subject: nroff question Message-ID: <1991Jun26.161342.13589@midway.uchicago.edu> Date: 26 Jun 91 16:13:42 GMT Sender: news@midway.uchicago.edu (NewsMistress) Organization: Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists Lines: 12 I am running an acereport in Informix and piping it through nroff to produce a letter. At one point I want to underline only two words of a line of text and I am having difficulty. I have tried it several different ways and have gotten various output, none of it quite right. In some cases, the two words are underlined and then the rest of the line just drops out. In another case, the desired words are underlined and the rest of the line goes to a new line. And there is also there case in which the two words are underlined and the rest of the line is underlined even though I don't want it to be. Can anyone out there help me? Bonnie
