Problem

Solutions: A user may want to lower the underline so the descenders on the characters are not overrun by the underline (descenders are the bottom of letters like p, q, j, etc.). This can get very complicated as it relates to the different point sizes and the relationships between the underline character and the descenders, however, there is a "fast and dirty" way to do this for those who want a without worrying too much about differences between the various fonts. Here are the steps to lower the underline to a point below the descenders on the Hewlett Packard LaserJet Series II: 1. Enter the PTR program and retrieve the WPHP1.ALL file. Highlight the printer name and press Enter. 2. Highlight Attribute Methods and press Enter. 3. Highlight Underline and hit Enter. 4. Mark WP's Underline on Separate Pass by typing an asterisk (*), then press Enter to edit this option. (Make sure hpundon is across from underline on and hpundoff is across from underline off.) 5. Highlight Underline Character and press Enter. 6. Type an underline character surrounded by single quotes ('_') and press Enter. 7. For Vertical Motion, type 32 and press Enter. 8. Press Alt-F7 to exit the PTR program, saving the changes made to the WPHP1.AlL File. Enter WordPerfect and update the .PRS file (Shift-F7, S, 7). The underline will be lowered. You can type in a larger number then 32 in step 7 and the underline will go even lower.
