THANKS to Seneca and LibreTraining! The workaround is simple indeed: for my (rare) underlined bold characters, I'm using Times Bold. It's virtually identical to Times New Roman but has the non-bold underline. It's working for my application (language curriculum, TNR is needed for the special characters) but it wouldn't work for every case.

How can I make text bold but keep the underline regular(non-bold)? I can do it easily in LibreOffice, but when I import the text into Affinity Publisher it makes the decorations as bold as the text and I can't find a way to change it back. I can change color, yes, but not style.

Thanks JMatt! That's actually what I've been doing lately. I hope this bug gets fixed eventually. LibreOffice works fine out of the box, and MS Word can be configured to work. Let's hope Affinity eventually catches up.

Thanks for your help, Joachim! My project is school curriculum, with lots of "fill in the blank" exercises. Underscores are too light, and in certain fonts (required for the material) they aren't continuous. Besides, I'm copy/pasting lots of existing exercises from LibreOffice files, and I'm not keen to redo all the blanks. Maybe I'll just have to, though. I tried to use PPX9 instead, but that's even worse, with the underlining appearing/disappearing from view at random. One workaround I discovered: set tabs to a narrow length and use regular Ctrl+U underlining. Works great, but not for copy/pasting existing work. Continuous underlining seems like such a basic text function, I can't understand why it doesn't just work like LO. Anyway, thanks for your help!

Hello, I'm migrating from LibreOffice. In LO, I can underline spaces, as in . In AP, this only works if I place a period or other character after the blank spaces. So I can't underline trailing spaces, only inline space. MS Word has a way to resolve this in Settings. How can I do it in AP? btw, I'm not looking for alternatives such as underscores, etc. My project requires underlined trailing spaces.
