I'm trying to double underline a cell in a table in PowerPoint 2007. I can't
find an option to do it, either by drawing it or using the borders tool. Has
this facility been removed?

Thanks in advance

Diane

Select the text you want to double underline On the home tab in the font
group click underline at the bottom right of the font group, you will see a
down to the right arrow. click on it and in the underline style, select
double.

Ah, I see what you mean. I was actually wanting to double underline the
cell itself not the contents, can you do this?

I don't think this has been removed -- I don't think it ever existed in the
first place. If it did, I sure cannot find it. I cannot see a way to add a
double line as a border to a table in either PPT 2007 or 2003.

In 2003 you can use the 'line' tool to draw a line inside the cell. Isn't
that toolbar visible at the bottom of the screen in 2007?

No there aren't any toolbars in 2007 (except the quick access toolbar)

Thanks for your responses guys

But when you select the table, the Table Tools tabs (Design and Layout) do
become available.

I don't have 2007, but even with all the adverse comments about it, I
can't image that the drawing facilities have been removed.

They haven't been. All of the same features are there, and new ones have been
added. There are simply no more toolbars; everything's on the new Ribbon
interface instead.

If you have a cell with a double underline in Excel and paste it into PowerPoint 2007, you can create the double underline effect.

So, take your table from PowerPoint, paste it into Excel. Add the double underlines as appropriate, then delete the original table in PPTx and paste the new table from Excel.
