excel cell text underlining
I selected a cell and underlined the text. It looked correct
However, when I clicked on the next cell, the underlining extended beyond the words to the end of the cell.
What am I doing wrong? I have done this a million times and this week is the first time I have experienced this.
Thanks,

Change your cell formatting to "Text"
This fixed the issue for me.
- Logaraj SekarSteel ContributorWhether you selected and applied underline for entire row or column. coz you told next cell, whether is in a row or column.

I only selected and applied underlining to the words, not the whole cell. And it looks correct, but when I proceed, it reverts to underlining all the way across the width of the cell.

I think you are entering data on same cell.
After the word "hat", press Ctrl+U (or) disable underline, then type.
