I have someone here who needs to double-underline their text in Powerpoint.
In Word, there are many options for underlining in the font dialog box --
not so in Powerpoint. Working with underlining text boxes, or placing
actual drawn lines is not satisfactory. They want to double-underline the
words only -- certain words within a text box.

Help, please! Am I missing something here?

Unless the text is linked from Excel to PPT (handy for tables and such but
not very practical for run of the mill text), your best bet, I think, is to
hand draw the underlines, then select both the underlines and the text block
and group the two so they stay in the same relative position to one another.

Or you could draw a line and add a shadow of the same color. Then nudge it
around so it lines up to your liking. This way you can adjust the line
thickness AND the space between the lines and still not worry about the
grouped objects thing.
