Can you explain how to underline text in different colors (apart from the default - red)? It was straight-forward in Lion.
I was able to underline text using blue if I right clicked and selected this alternate color. But when I tried again with a different portion of text, it simply highlighted in blue and reverted to default (red) when I selected the underline tool.
MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion
It was so logical, and yet not easily accessible. The color palette icon threw me off, and I thought Apple dropped this feature. Thanks for posting the solution.
Apple, please make it easy.
Apple, please make it easy.
I don´t know why apple had to make it more difficult with this update
Thank you -- that actually worked. For whatever reason, unless you do that exact sequence of commands, it doesn't work.
Did this get removed in Mt. Lion? neither (1) or (2) seem to be working for me.
I continue to use solution #2 in Mt. Lion - make sure the sequence of commands is correct - see comment above on highlighting from 12/17/2012
I cant get it. Would you upload any picture to meke it clear?
Thanks for the answer Ned, unfortunatelly it's still not working.
The colour button you have circled on the picture isn't there in the lastest Preview version, the one that updated with Mavericks.
I think you're mistaken. Could you please demonstrate how to underline text using blue color in 10.9?
Thanks for the answer,
Tuttle and Ned get it wrong.
We are not asking how to change the highligh color, we're talking about the UNDERLINE color.
I found another workaround for Preview 7.0 (826.4). It is a bit tedious but it works. I described it here.
@Lalhee The second approach on your page works great, thanks!
(I'm on OSX 10.9.5)
