How to Underline Text in Notion (Web Version)
Granting that you opened a text file, choose either of the methods below to underline the text.
Method 1: Using Keyboard Shortcuts to Underline Text in Notion
1. Highlight the text you want to underline.
Simply drag the cursor across the part of the text until it is highlighted in blue.
2. Press “Ctrl + U” (Windows) or “Cmd + U” (Mac).
These are the very same keyboard shortcuts used for underlining text on other word-processing tools.
You should now see the highlighted text has a line under it.
Method 2: Clicking “Underline” on the Text Formatting Window in Notion
This second method of underlining text is considered the longer method of the two.
Once you have opened a new or an existing text file on Notion, proceed with the steps below.
1. Highlight the text you’ll underline.
This move selects the text for highlighting. Again, you only have to drag the cursor across the said text to make it highlighted in blue.
2. Click “Underline” on the “Text Formatting Window.”
This “Text Formatting Window” is the menu that appears after selecting the text to underline.
You won’t miss the “Underline” icon as it appears as a capital letter “U” with a line under it after the “Bold” and “Italic” icons.
Once you click “Underline,” the text selected should be underlined.
How to Underline Text in Notion Mobile (Android/iPhone)
Underlining text in Notion mobile is as straightforward as when you’re working on the app’s web version. It’s just the screen size that differs.
Whether you’re using an iPhone or an Android device, the steps for underlining text in Notion mobile are the same.
After launching the app and opening a text file (new or existing), follow the steps below.
1. Tap once before the text you want to underline.

2. Choose “Select.”
You will then see handlebars appear on either side of the text selected.
3. Highlight the text to be underlined.
Tap and drag any one of the handlebars to the part of the text you want to highlight.
4. Press “Underline.”
You’ll find the “Text Formatting Window” as a bottom menu instead (above your onscreen keyboard).
Tap the said icon (after “Bold” and “Italic), and you’ll see the selected words become underlined.
