How do you get a dotted underline in Pages? I also can't find a way to change line styles, just width.
You can one solid line, double line and or colour. You find that in the Font palette, Cmd + T.
If you use a line object from the Shape icon in the toolbar can you in the Inspector palette > grapich tab > line change it to a dotted line.
Thanks for your reply, but it doesn't quite work when you are trying to underline a word with a dotted underline. It only works if you try to physically choose a graphics line in the context of writing your text. All I want to do is underline a word or have a dotted line between tabs. Any thoughts?
You can do this in Word by going to the tools menu and actually putting adotted underline icon on the toolbar. But I'm having trouble formatting something else in this document and had to try Pages instead.
You asked about dotted underline and you got the answer.
You didn't ask about tabbed leaders but those you can make dotted.
Inspector palette > T tab > tabs > Leader > click on the button and choose the dotted one
Actually, I added the question about the tab leader. Thanks for the answer. The dotted word underline issue, still isn't solved. I think Apple needs to simply add more drop-down menu items for underline styles, perhaps in the fonts menu. In any case, I wish I could wean myself of Word, but with all its problems–especially with tables. Another inconventience is having to go to the menu bar to undo,

Si vous connaissiez mieux l'anglais, vous ne feriez pas telles fautes d'usage. Est-ce que je m'explique?
You miss a point : I answer what I want when I want.
It's true that I'm far from mastering perfectly the English language but I continue to think that writing :

about a feature available in Apple applications since the first delivery of macintosh is perfectly justifying my comment.
Using my language I would wrote :
Ouvrir les yeux vous aurait évité d'écrire une telle ânerie.
La fonction "Annuler xxx" dispose du raccourci clavier cmd + z depuis la première livraison de macintosh en 1984.
À bon entendeur …

How can you say it is an issue? The dotted word line doesn't exist. End of story. That is the answer to your question. Tell Apple that you think they should add it.
