How do I put a line under a number to indicate it is a total or subtotal?
That depends on where you are! Are you in a text (Writer) document,
in a table in a text document, or perhaps in a spreadsheet?
In a spreadsheet:
o Select the relevant cell.
o Go to Format | Cells... | Borders (or right-click | Format Cells...
| Borders).
o Under Line arrangement | User-defined, click at the bottom to
indicate that you want the border only at the bottom of the cell.
o Under Line | Style, select your preferred line style and thickness.
Alternatively, you can click the down-arrow next to the Borders icon
in the Formatting toolbar and select the icon for bottom border
only. This will give you the line but no option to select its
style. In addition, at Format | Cells... | Font Effects |
Underlining you can select various styles of underlining. Or you can
use the Underline icon in the Formatting toolbar. But note that
underlining underlines only the value in the relevant cell, whereas a
border extends the fill width of the cell - which I'd guess is what you want.
Underlining is also available in a text document, of course. In a
table in a text document, underlining of the value is available, but
again you can alternatively apply a bottom border to a entire cell.
I trust this helps.
